Met Office issues overnight weather warning for Northern Ireland - wintry showers possible in some areas

The forecaster says that wintry showers will bring a risk of ice on Wednesday night, especially in the west and north.

The warning is in place from 6pm tonight, Wednesday until 10am tomorrow, Thursday.

The Met Office predicts there will probably be icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, increasing the chance of accidents or injuries.

“Wintry showers will continue this evening in many places before becoming more confined to western counties later in the night,” it said. “This will bring a risk of icy patches, especially on untreated surfaces.”
