CARLOW WEATHER: Very cold today (Jan 17) with isolated thunderstorms and snow in places

Weather today (January 17) will be very cold with a mix of sunny spells and wintry showers, falling as snow in places. 

That's according to Met Éireann, which also forecasts isolated thunderstorms with hail and highest temperatures of just 1 to 4 degrees. 

A Status Yellow Low Temperatures/Ice warning is in place countrywide until 12pm today, with icy stretches leading to hazardous travelling conditions. 

A very cold night is expected tonight with frost and icy stretches developing in many areas. 

Scattered sleet and snow showers will continue, most frequent in the north and west, and isolated thunderstorms may occur too with the chance of hail. 

Lowest temperatures of -3 to +1 degrees in mainly moderate westerly winds, breezier all the while along Atlantic coasts.
