A YELLOW weather warning of ice has been given for Herefordshire overnight.

The Met Office has issued the warning for the whole of the county and state that ice is ‘likely’ between 4pm this afternoon and 10am tomorrow. 

The warning states: “Ice is expected to form during Monday evening and overnight leading to difficult driving conditions on untreated roads and slippery conditions on pavements.

“Showers will affect many parts of the UK during Monday, with some continuing overnight and into Tuesday morning, when temperatures will also fall below zero in some areas, bringing a risk of ice. 

“The showers will fall as rain, sleet and hail, but as snow over hills, where several centimetres of snow may accumulate, and locally to lower levels where heavier showers occur.”
