A Met Office spokesperson added: “Rain spreading from the west is expected to turn to snow for a time Saturday evening across the west of Northern Ireland. Whilst accumulations at low levels are likely to be limited, 2-4 cm of snow could fall above 200 m, affecting the Glenshane Pass for a time. At low levels some brief icy patches are possible.
“Snow will turn back to rain at all levels later Saturday evening before clearing eastwards by the end of the day, with a rapid thaw of any lying snow.”
What should I expect?
- Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
- Perhaps some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
