Warning issued for wintry showers and ice

Expect sleet or hail at lower levels and hail or snow over higher ground

The Ronaldsway Met Office says more hail, sleet and snow is on the way this afternoon.

A yellow weather warning has been issued for wintry showers and ice from midday today until noon tomorrow (22 November).

It says wintry showers will become more frequent for a time this afternoon and this evening, falling as sleet or hail at lower levels, but as hail or snow over higher ground, mainly above around 800FT giving some slight accumulations, with temporary slushy accumulations possible at lower levels in any heavier showers.

Road surface temperatures will remain close to or slightly below freezing over higher ground (mainly above 800FT) giving a continuing risk of ice.

It will take over from the current yellow weather warning for hail, sleet and ice - in place until 12pm today.
