Yellow Weather Warning For Ice Issued In NI

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice throughout Northern Ireland.

The warning comes into effect from 6pm on Thursday, 17 November, until 10am on Friday, 17 November.

Temperatures are also expected to drop to around -1 degrees overnight.

In a statement the Met Office said: "Wintry showers later on Thursday and overnight into Friday will lead to some ice, primarily on untreated surfaces but perhaps also where grit is washed off by frequent showers. Additionally, 1-3 cm of snow may accumulate on hills above around 100-200 m and more than 6 cm above 400 m. Some of the heaviest showers could produce slushy conditions even at low levels. Please be aware of possible tricky travel conditions."

Motorists are also being advised to take extra care.
