Yellow Warning Upgraded
Yellow conditions are still expected elsewhere (the north and south).
The Met Office has upgraded its yellow warning for ice and snow to amber for the central parts of the island.
Yellow conditions are still expected elsewhere (the north and south).
With minimum temperatures close to or below freezing for tonight and Tuesday night road temperatures will too be prone to freezing, leading to a risk of ice on any untreated damp surfaces during the overnight periods and at first in the mornings.
Additional wintry showers of snow and hail tonight and tomorrow morning, expected to bring at least a further 3-5cm for mainly central parts of the island on top of the pre-existing accumulations will result in potentially significant accumulations in some parts.
This will result in difficult driving conditions, especially for Tuesday morning’s commute, and there is likely to be travel disruption. This update and upgrade mainly applies to central parts of the island expected to see more of these showers than other parts of the island.
Over the next two days there will be further occasional wintry showers even down to lower levels. However sunny spells during the day will aid melting at lower levels. This will be continuously monitored and reviewed, then upgraded if necessary.
