Live updates as weather warning for snow and ice in place across NI

A weather warning for snow and ice has come into force across Northern Ireland as the country braces itself for wintry showers and frost.

The warning from the Met Office came into force at midnight and remains in place until 12noon on Wednesday, November 19. A Met Office spokesperson said: "Frequent wintry showers will feed inland through Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning across Northern Ireland, with strong northerly winds blowing showers well inland.

"Whilst little to no snow accumulations are expected at low levels, 1-3 cm is likely over higher ground, and perhaps very locally up to 5 cm. This may affect routes such as the Glenshane Pass and Coleraine Mountain road.

"Ice will be likely on untreated surfaces, whilst hail and lightning will be additional hazards."
