A yellow weather warning has been issued for Northern Ireland, coming into affect on Thursday evening. It will remain in place until Saturday evening.
According to the MET Office, the first outbreaks of sleet and snow will arrive in Co Fermanagh and Co Armagh by dusk. An area of rain and sleet will move in from the south later, turning to snow.
A warning has also been issued to eastern coastal areas where there might be a risk of localised flooding.
Some inland areas of the region are expected to have in excess of 10cm of snow forecast.
Strong to gale force winds are also being forecast, expected to cause severe problems for many upland areas in particular.
A spokesperson for the MET Office said: "The public should be aware of the likelihood of a spell of difficult and disruptive wintry weather, with impacts on travel and, perhaps, on power supplies."
