DRIVERS are being urged to exercise caution amid a yellow weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for Fermanagh.
The yellow alert from the Met Office came into force at 3pm today (Monday), and will remain in place until 10am on Tuesday, November 19.
The forecaster said: "Snow and icy surfaces leading to difficult travel conditions Monday afternoon, evening and overnight into Tuesday morning."
It added: "Outbreaks of rain will arrive from the west during Monday afternoon, turning to sleet and perhaps wet snow at times during the afternoon, evening and first part of the night.
"Snow is expected on high ground above 200 to 300 metres, where several cm snowfall is likely, and perhaps 5 to 10 cm across the higher parts of the Sperrins and Mournes.
"Settling snow looks unlikely on low ground. However, as skies clear overnight, temperatures will fall widely below freezing with ice forming on untreated surfaces. This will lead to difficult travelling conditions."
