Wintry showers expected overnight and into Friday

A yellow weather warning has been issued for snow from 6pm tonight (1 January) until midday tomorrow.

The Ronaldsway Met Office says wintry showers will fall as snow on high ground initially (above 800 FT), then increasingly to low-levels (above 300 FT) from around 5am Friday morning but largely confined to the south of the Island.

It adds any accumulations of hail to low-levels will be short-lived but may cause some isolated icy patches.

Wintry conditions are expected to continue throughout the weekend - read more HERE.

Civil Defence Isle of Man is encouraging anyone who lives near a salt box to use them and keep pathways clear.

With more cold conditions expected over the weekend, motorists are being advised to drive with caution in the days ahead.
