As we’ve just reported, some yellow snow and ice warnings have lifted, but a number remain across the UK.
Scotland
From the Orkney and Sheltand Islands to Inverness and Aberdeen, a snow and ice warning has been put in place from 16:00 today until 10:00 tomorrow.
Showers of snow and hail are expected on Friday afternoon, evening and overnight which could lead to accumulations of 1 to 3 cm in places. By Saturday morning wintry showers will mostly die, according to the Met Office.
Northern Ireland
An ice warning covers the northern part of the region, including Londonderry/Derry, Coleraine and Belfast.
Icy surfaces are expected, which could lead to difficult travel conditions, as the warning remains in place until tomorrow at 10:00.
North East
Coastal areas including Hull, Scarborough, Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne have snow and ice warnings due for 16:00 today until 10:00 tomorrow.
As sleet is more likely along some coasts, it could lead to ice on untreated surfaces as temperatures are expected to fall below freezing overnight.
Midlands, South England and Wales
A band of rain and sleet, with a little snow on hills, will clear southwards across England and Wales during Friday evening and overnight.
The ice warning is set to begin from 17:00 until 10:00 tomorrow and covers most of the midlands, south England and Wales including Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham, Oxford, Cardiff, Exeter, Peterborough and others.
