"It will be valid from tonight, midnight, until noon on Thursday and will apply to counties Cavan, Donegal, Monaghan, Leitrim and Sligo. Hazardous travelling conditions and icy stretches are possible, Met Éireann has said. Separately, the UK Met Office has issued the same warning for counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry leading to lying snow and possible travel delays."
"Tonight will see temperatures dip to -1 degrees, dropping even lower later in the week as an Arctic airmass arrives from north of the country. Unsettled weather conditions will continue to see cold and wet conditions as the week progresses. It will be cold and breezy tonight under long clear spells with scattered showers becoming increasingly confined to the north and west."
"Some of the showers will turn wintry with hail and sleet, and possibly some snow too, especially about higher ground. Lowest temperatures will vary between -1 and 3 degrees with some frost and icy patches. Tomorrow will also be cold with sunshine and scattered showers, some of them wintry with hail and sleet. There will be potentially snow showers too, mainly over higher ground. Highest temperatures will range from 3 to 7 degrees, and feeling even colder with an added wind chill factor."
A cold Arctic airmass will arrive, bringing showers of hail, sleet and snow and causing icy stretches and hazardous travelling conditions across specified counties. Warnings are valid from midnight until noon on Thursday for parts of the Republic and similar warnings cover several Northern Ireland counties, with lying snow and possible travel delays. Temperatures will dip to around -1 tonight with overnight lows to -3 in places, and daytime highs of 3 to 7 degrees, feeling colder due to wind chill. Higher ground will see the most wintry precipitation and frost with isolated icy patches expected.
