New yellow weather warning for snow showers

Could impact areas as low as 400-500ft tonight

A new yellow weather warning has been issued, this time for snow showers.

It will come into effect from 6pm tonight until 6am tomorrow (9 January) with areas as low as 400-500ft potentially impacted.

Ronaldsway Met Office says while there is a risk of wintry showers continuing throughout today, mostly on high ground above 1000ft, colder temperatures tonight could see snow fall on the lower ground. 

It says this is only expected to bring the risk of minor accumulations of mostly 2-6cm in places and will be localised due to the nature of the showers.

Due to icy conditions on the Island's roads today motorists are being urged to drive with caution.

Highway services' gritters have been out on the roads since early this morning:
