Yellow ice warning to bring sub-zero conditions early next week

Met Éireann says that at this point, forecasts are uncertain as regards how far north the milder air - and therefore rain or even snow - will reach, with a lower chance it will stay south of the country entirely. File Picture: Sam Boal/Rollingnews.ie

A status yellow ice warning has been issued for early in the coming week, as an Arctic air mass moves across the country.

While the weekend has mostly dry and cool, Met Éireann says temperatures are expected to drop below freezing from Monday which will lead to icy stretches on roads and paths across the country.
