Motorists are warned that travel delays are likely and there is potential for rail travel to be affected as well. The icy surfaces will also increase the risk of accidents and injuries.

The Met Office's chief forecaster said: "Showers are likely to become more frequent across parts of Northern Ireland bringing one to three cm of snow in places and perhaps 5 - 10 cm over hills."

If you have made plans for St Patrick's Day evening, be aware that the alert is in place between 9pm on Saturday and 10am on Sunday. Counties Antrim, Armagh, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Down are all set to be affected.
