A yellow weather warning has been issued by the UK Met Office advising snow and icy surfaces can be expected leading to difficult travel conditions on Monday afternoon, evening and overnight into Tuesday morning.
The warning is effective from 3:00pm today, Monday 18, to 10:00am on Tuesday 19 November.
A Met Office spokesperson commented:
“Outbreaks of rain will arrive from the west during Monday afternoon, turning to sleet and perhaps wet snow at times during the afternoon, evening and first part of the night.
“Snow is expected on high ground above 200 to 300 metres, where several cm snowfall is likely, and perhaps 5 to 10 cm across the higher parts of the Sperrins and Mournes.
“Settling snow looks unlikely on low ground. However, as skies clear overnight, temperatures will fall widely below freezing with ice forming on untreated surfaces. This will lead to difficult travelling conditions.”
