Yellow Warning For Snow Extended Across NI
A yellow weather warning for snow has been extended across Northern Ireland.
The warning has been put in place from 6pm on Wednesday, 17 January, until 6am on Thursday.
A spokesperson from the Met Office said: "A deepening area of low pressure is expected to track east across the UK during Wednesday night and early Thursday. Across some northern areas, a spell of persistent and perhaps heavy snow is expected to develop. This could see 3-8 cm of snow accumulate in places with up to 20 cm over high ground. There remains uncertainty regarding the extent and location of any heavy snowfall."
Travel delays are also expected and motorists are being urged to take extra care on the roads.
Public transport may also be disrupted and power cuts may occur.
