ALERT: Met Éireann issues a Status Yellow snow -ice warning for four counties
A Status Yellow cold and ice warning remains in place for the entire country in addition to the latest snow warning
Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow - Snow-Ice warning for four counties, in addition to the low temperature warning for the entire country.
The snow and ice warning has been issued for Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo this evening by Met Éireann.
The national forecaster has predicted snow showers leading to some accumulations for these counties.
Potential impacts include difficult travelling conditions and some travel and service disruption.
This latest warning, issued at 4.08 pm on Tuesday evening is in addition to a low temperature and ice warning for the entire country which remains in place until 11am on Wednesday, January 17.
After that, Ireland could wave goodbye to the current cold spell and say hello to a "conveyor belt of storms" from the Atlantic over the next couple of weeks.
That's according to weather forecaster Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather who is monitoring some "nasty" systems headed out way next week.
Alan said: "The Atlantic conveyor belt of storms will come roaring back after this cold spell. Firstly for the weekend and then risk of some nasty systems coming our way next week. Sunday and Tuesday likely to see first two systems with Tuesday’s looking potentially nasty."
