WATCH: Snow falling across Ireland this morning as Met Eireann warns of more snow to come

Snow is falling across Ireland this morning with Met Eireann warning of more to come. 

Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow Snow Ice Warning for Ireland from 3am on Thursday until 11pm on Thursday. 

Met Eireann is warning that rain, sleet and snow will spread northwards across the country later on Wednesday night and during Thursday accompanied by strengthening easterly winds. Accumulations of snow are expected in many areas along with icy conditions.

Sleet and snow will likely transition to rain in southern areas for a time.

Met Eireann says possible impacts include: Hazardous driving conditions, Travel disruption and Poor Visibility.

Met Eireann has also issued Status Yellow Low Temperature/Ice Warning for Ireland from 9pm on Thursday until 10am on Friday

A third warning for Snow and Ice has also been issued. This warning applies to Leinster, Cavan and Monaghan. This warning cautions that sleet and snow will slowly clear eastwards on Thursday night and early on Friday with further accumulations of snow expected.

The weather forecast for today states that rain, sleet and snow will continue to spread northeastwards to most areas this morning with poor visibility and hazardous road conditions in some parts. Falls of sleet and snow will continue over the northern half of the country this afternoon, but it will turn mainly to rain and sleet further south. Afternoon highs of 1 to 5 degrees, but significantly milder in southern coastal areas. Northeasterly winds will freshen this afternoon and it will become rather windy for a time this evening.

Cold and windy at first tonight with falls of sleet and snow in many areas giving rise to very poor visibility and hazardous road conditions. The sleet and snow will continue overnight over the eastern half of the country, but it will become drier further west with frost and ice developing under clear breaks. Lowest temperatures of -4 to 0 degrees coldest in the west, with northerly winds gradually easing light to moderate overnight.

According to Met Eirean, residual rain, sleet and snow in the east will clear into the Irish Sea early on Friday morning, giving way to a cold and mostly dry day with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 4 to 7 degrees in light variable breezes.

Dry in many areas to begin on Friday night but with cloud gradually thickening from the southwest. Rain in the southwest will spread northeastwards over Munster and parts of Connacht and Leinster overnight, falling as a wintry mix of sleet and snow initially. Lows of -3 to +3 degrees, generally but locally colder in the northeast where snow is lying and skies remain clearest the longest. Light to moderate southeast breezes will be fresher near west and southwest coasts.
