Yellow Warning For Ice Issued Across NI

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

The warning has been put in place from 6pm on Thursday, 23 November, until 10am on Friday, 24 November.

Icy patches are expected on untreated roads and pavements overnight and snow showers may occur on higher ground.

A spokesperson from the Met Office said: "Showers across northern and western Scotland are expected to bring further snowfall with 1-2 cm possible to low levels, and 2-5 cm above around 200 m. Across Northern Ireland and northern England, snow will be confined to higher routes, but icy patches are likely where showers leave surfaces wet."

Drivers are being urged to take care on the roads.
