Snow and Sleet on the Way?
Heavy rain could turn to sleet and snow, even at low levels.
The Met office is warning of the potential for more icy conditions this week, as an area of low pressure sweeps the island.
Hitting the island Thursday and Friday, the low pressure will bring outbreaks of rain becoming persistent with some heavier bursts from time to time, and turning to sleet or snow, even to low levels at times.
his will be combined with a strong to near gale force east to south-easterly wind, making it feel bitterly cold and giving blizzard like conditions, resulting in the risk of some disruption.
The Met Office said: ‘There currently still remains some uncertainty in the detail of this forecast, but the situation will be monitored and updated when necessary, so please keep checking for updates to the forecast and any warnings issued, as there is a risk this may be upgraded to an Amber warning as confidence increases.’
This warning is in place from 6am Thursday to 12pm on Friday.
