THE Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice across the whole of our region this afternoon.
Both today and tomorrow icy stretches are likely to form perhaps leading to some disruption to travel with snow falling for some.
Forecast
Tonight:
Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow begin to move in from the north overnight, becoming heavier into the early hours. Widespread frost expected, turning icy in places. Minimum temperature -4 °C.
Friday:
Some outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow linger for a time but begin to die out into the afternoon, clearing by the night. Remaining cold, and icy in the morning. Maximum temperature 3 °C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
A frosty and foggy start Saturday, clearing to give sunny spells. Temperatures move back to average Sunday, with patchy cloud. Turning unsettled Monday afternoon with stronger winds and occasional rain.
