New weather warning in place for Northern Ireland

The Met Office has warned that icy conditions for Northern Ireland are set to continue towards the end of the week.

A yellow weather warning for ice has been put in place from 5pm on Thursday to 10am on Friday.

It follows an earlier warning which was in place until 10am on Thursday morning.

The warning is in place for counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Londonderry and Tyrone.

The Met Office has said: "Scattered wintry showers will be replaced by a longer spell of rain and sleet for a time on Thursday night, particularly across western Scotland and Northern Ireland.

"As temperatures dip below freezing, this will lead to a risk of ice formation on untreated surfaces, especially inland."
