The Met Office has issued a further yellow weather warning advising ice and snow are expected to cause disruption for transport and some infrastructure.
The warning is effective from 9:00pm this evening, Saturday 4th January, to 6:00pm on Sunday 5th January.
A Met Office spokesperson commented;
“Spells of rain, sleet and snow will develop from the south late Saturday before clearing through Sunday.
“Coastal areas will likely see rain, but inland and over higher ground, sleet and snow is more likely. Locally 1-3 cm of snow is possible away from coasts, with 5-10 cm possible over the Mournes, Sperrins and Antrim Hills.
“Ice will be an additional hazard, especially on untreated surfaces.”
