Ice Warning Issued In NI

A yellow weather warning for ice has once again been issued throughout Northern Ireland.

The warning has been put in place from 5pm on Friday, 15 December, until 11am on Saturday, 15 December.

However, the extent of the ice is expected to be less than the last few days.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "The cold, showery weather will finally begin to lose its grip as we move into the weekend. However before this happens there is scope for some ice affecting areas where wintry showers continue to fall, or where there is existing partly melted snow cover."

The public and motorists have been advised to take extra care.
