snow ice warning

That’s right, a yellow snow warning.

Met Éireann have issued a new yellow weather warning for Ireland, with scattered snow showers forecast from Thursday evening into Friday afternoon.

North and north-west counties are most at risk, following on from previous warnings for Donegal, Galway, Mayo and Kerry as Storm Caroline prepares to hit.

The latest warning comes into effect on Thursday at approximately 4pm and is in effect for 24 hours.

Slight to moderate accumulations of snow up to 3cm in parts are expected, but people are advised to look out for icy stretches.
