Yellow weather warning in place until midday tomorrow

Motorists are warned driving conditions could become difficult at times today with wintry showers expected.

The Ronaldsway Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning, valid from this lunchtime until 12 noon tomorrow.

Forecasters say hail and sleet could give slushy accumulations at low levels, as well as some snow over the hills.

There's also a risk of ice forming where road temperatures fall below freezing, particularly over higher roads.
