With further low temperatures and wintry conditions forecast across the UK, the Met Office has issued a further yellow weather warning advising that Icy surfaces will lead to difficult travel conditions in Northern Ireland.


This weekend and into early next week will also see more sleet and snow showers, with up to 5cm of snow possible in parts of the province.



The latest yellow weather warning is effective from 4:00pm today, Friday 3 January, to 10:00am on Saturday 4 January.


A Met Office spokesperson commented:


”Temperatures will again fall widely below freezing during Friday evening. This will allow ice to readily form on untreated surfaces, particularly where roads and pavements remain wet from wintry showers.



“Scattered showers will fall as a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. Most areas are unlikely to see any fresh accumulations of snow though a slight covering is possible in places, especially over parts of northern Scotland.”
