According to Met Éireann it will be cold and breezy tonight with clear spells and scattered showers. Some of the showers will be heavy and wintry with hail and sleet, and possibly some snow too, especially about higher ground.
Lowest temperatures of -1 to 3 degrees are forecast with some frost and icy patches in moderate to fresh and gusty northerly winds, stronger along exposed coasts.
Motorists have been asked to drive with care, and to assume that no road is ice free.
