The cold spell isn’t over yet.

Met Éireann has issued another status yellow, snow-ice warning for the entire country which comes into effect tomorrow at 9 pm.

The warning was issued today at 1 pm but doesn’t come into effect until tomorrow night, giving us some time to prepare for more snow.

This latest update from the national forecaster includes the entire country with scattered snow showers predicted, most likely in the west and north.

You can expect accumulations of less than 3cm and these conditions will mean that roads and paths could become slippery due to ice on untreated services.

As mentioned, the warning comes into effect tomorrow evening (8 February) at 9 pm and will continue until Friday evening at 9 pm.

In the meantime, the weather for this evening is likely to be cloudy, with some rain and drizzle.

Tonight will see more of the same with some fog patches developing and tomorrow is also expected to be cloudy and misty.

Snow showers are then expected tomorrow night and in addition to the snow, there is a risk of hail and thunder near Atlantic coasts.

On Thursday night, temperatures may fall between +1 and minus 3 degrees and it will be “coldest in the east”.
