Derry is on “yellow alert” for ice tonight with motorists warned of possible difficult driving conditions.
Following last night’s stormy weather – which Derry escaped relatively unscathed – a cold westerly airstream will bring further wintry showers overnight into tomorrow morning..
As road temperatures fall, the Met Office has warned this could lead to an increased risk of icy stretches on higher ground.
In addition, these showers could lead to some accumulation of snow, mainly on ground above 200 metres where two – five centimetres may accumulate.
Some temporary slight falls are also possible at lower levels in heavier showers.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “Drivers should be aware of the possibility of difficult driving conditions and minor disruption to travel.”
