A yellow weather warning has been issued for snow and sleet over the hills of the island later today.
It is due to come into force at 3pm and run through to the early hours of Tuesday.
A frontal system arriving this afternoon coupled with low temperatures will bring the risk of snow over hills of 1000ft and above and with sleet also expected as low as 500ft.
About 3-8cm of snow is expected to fall over the hills, with a small risk of 10-15cm but with prior treatment to roads accumulations should only be slight.
Once this feature has cleared there will be a further risk of icecovernight into Tuesday.
