Yellow warning for ice returns to Derry and the North
The Met Office has issued yet another yellow ice warning for Derry, in place from midnight on Friday until 11am.
Forecasters say road and rail travel could face disruption, with motorists and bus and train passengers likely to experience longer journey times.
They also warn of an increased risk of slips and falls on icy surfaces, as untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths are expected to develop hazardous patches of ice.
Met Éireann also has a yellow warning for ice in place for Derry.
Friday is forecast to start cloudy with occasional light rain, though conditions are expected to brighten between 9am and 3pm. Temperatures will range from a low of -1°C to a high of around 4°C.
Sunday is expected to be noticeably milder, with temperatures rising to around 11°C. Next week is set to remain warmer as well, with lows of about 4°C and highs reaching up to 9°C.
Met Éireann’s Head of Forecasting Eoin Sherlock said: “This prolonged spell of cold, impactful weather is coming to its end this weekend. It is important to note that there will still be dangerous conditions on Thursday and in some places on Friday.
“Then on Friday night temperatures are likely to stay just above freezing.
"Temperatures will range from 4 to 8 degrees on Saturday, and temperatures should fall to between 2 and 6 degrees in general. It will be Sunday before temperatures really start to increase with highs of 8 to 11 degrees as a milder air mass takes its place over the country.”
