Status yellow ice warning for Limerick

A STATUS yellow ice warning has been put in place for Limerick, with Met Eireann warning of "hazardous travelling conditions" overnight.

The caution, which also covers Clare and Tipperary, says there will be rain this Saturday night.

Wintry falls locally will drop on already frozen surfaces, leading to further development of icy conditions for a time.

It comes after another status yellow warning covering Limerick expired at lunchtime.

Motorists are being urged to exercise caution if driving overnight and early on Sunday morning.
