Ice on road

A yellow warning for ice and fog has been issued from 6pm Wednesday (30 January) to 10am Thursday (31 January).

Showers falling as a mixture of rain, sleet and snow will continue overnight before easing by Thursday morning. The showers are likely to lead to ice forming on some untreated surfaces.

Most areas are unlikely to see further accumulations of fresh snow but 1-2 cm is still possible in places.

A very cold night is expected across England with areas of freezing fog forming and very poor visibility in places, perhaps below 100m.

Some icy conditions are also possible in association with the freezing fog.
