Five pitch inspections are already planned for Saturday morning throughout the Scottish leagues due to adverse weather conditions.
Inverness' Ladbrokes Premiership game against Hearts which is scheduled for a 12.30pm kick-off at the Caledonian Stadium is subject to a 7.30am inspection.
A statement on Inverness' official website read: "As a result of the extreme weather conditions currently hitting the Highlands, early discussions took place this morning with Hearts FC and Police Scotland.
"With fan travel high on our list of priorities and paramount in our thoughts we spoke to the SPFL to request as early a pitch inspection as possible with regard to our home game versus Hearts FC scheduled for 12:30pm tomorrow.
"Further to these discussions the SPFL decided that, in order to give the game the best opportunity to go ahead, a 7:30am inspection be called tomorrow morning.
"Fans of both clubs can be assured our ground staff will do their utmost in the face of the prevailing weather conditions to assure the game goes ahead if at all possible.
"If there are any further developments we will alert fans of both clubs as soon as possible."
In the Ladbrokes Championship, there will be a 10am inspection at Dumbarton ahead of their match against Livingston
Cowdenbeath versus Forfar Athletic in League 1 sees an inspection an hour earlier and in League 2, Berwick Rangers versus Queen's Park and East Fife versus Clyde will only go ahead if the pass early inspections.
