Today

A chilly start to today with frost, fog and icy stretches as the last of the rain, sleet and snow clears the East coast soon after daybreak.

Scattered wintry showers in the West will become more widespread in the morning but will die out again to leave a dry afternoon for most parts with spells of winter sunshine.

Feeling cold throughout, with highest temperatures of just 4 to 7 degrees, in mostly moderate westerly breezes. More showers will push into Atlantic fringes towards evening.

There is a Status Yellow snow and ice warning in place this morning.

Weather warning

Rain turning increasingly to sleet and snow as it clears slowly Eastwards overnight and early on Wednesday, with few cms accumulation especially on high ground but at some lower levels too.

Icy stretches in the clearance with some wintry showers following to Western parts later.
