There’s a nip in the air that’s for sure.
Motorists have been warned to beware of black ice on untreated roads as temperatures are set to plummet to below freezing on Saturday and Sunday night.
Met Éireann have predicted a cloudy and misty weekend overall, with temperatures set to rise to no higher than 8 degrees during the day on Saturday and no higher than 9 degrees on Sunday.
At night, however, temperatures are set to drop to as low as -3 degrees, bringing with it the possibility of icy patches and dangerous conditions on untreated roads.
The Road Safety Authority issued the following advice to motorists on Friday, with the one and only Teresa Mannion warning of the dangers of black ice and how to stay safe behind the wheel in freezing conditions.
Temperatures are expected to reach lows of between 1° and -3° tonight. Remember to slow down and use all controls very delicately. pic.twitter.com/JjvgOfP6YL
