A yellow weather warning has been issued advising of snow and ice expected to impact Northern Ireland. As next week begins, the Met Office says showers, increasingly falling as snow, will bring some disruption to parts of the province.
The yellow weather warning is effective from 03:00 on Monday morning 15th January until 23:59 that night.
A Met Office spokesperson said:
"Brisk northerly winds will drive showers well inland across Northern Ireland on Monday, with these initially falling as snow over higher ground and sleet and rain elsewhere.
"However, as increasingly cold air spreads south, showers will fall as snow to all levels by late morning.
"Up to 5 cm of snow is likely over higher routes such as the Coleraine Mountain road and Glenshane Pass.
"At lower levels, a few cms can be expected, with northern counties expected to see the more frequent showers. Ice will be an additional hazard for all areas into the evening."
