Yellow warning for ice issued by Met Office - ‘sleet and snow likely’ - slips and falls possible
The Met Office has issued a Yellow weather warning for ice in Northern Ireland.
It is valid between 9pm on Match 11 and 10am on March 12.
A Met Office spokesman said that “icy stretches may lead to some travel disruption from Wednesday evening through into Thursday morning”.
He added that people need to beware that they could sustain “some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces” and be wary of “some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths”.
Met Office forecasters add: “Some rain is expected over the east of Northern Ireland on Wednesday evening before showers in the west spread across the country.
“These will leave surfaces wet with icy stretches likely to form overnight.
“Some sleet and snow is likely in the showers as well though any accumulations are expected to be small”.
