The status yellow warning advises that it will be 'icy in parts tonight with wintry outbreaks. Some snow accumulations possible before morning, mainly across the north and on higher ground elsewhere.'
Looking further ahead, Met Eireann is monitoring the approach of Storm Dennis which is due to arrive in Ireland this weekend. Whatever the case, it looks like a few more days of miserable weather lie ahead.
