SNOW and ice may cause travel disruption tonight and early on Saturday and the Met Office has issued a Yellow Warning.

The weather warning covers from 4pm today (Friday) until 10.30am tomorrow.

A Met Office spokesperson said: ‘Showers will continue at times across many areas, these largely of rain and sleet at low levels across southern England and southern Wales and near coasts but will be of sleet and snow elsewhere.

‘These will bring a cover of snow in places.

‘One to three cm could accumulate at low levels, mostly across Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England but as much as five to 10 cm of additional snow may accumulate at higher levels of these areas.

‘Clear skies between showers will also bring the threat of ice.’
