Areas likely to be affected

Adverse conditions are expected to affect the Island

From 18:00 GMT on Thursday 12 February 2026

Until 09:00 GMT on Friday 13 February 2026

Snow for high ground initially (above 1200FT), then increasingly to lower levels as the night goes on (above 800FT from approximately midnight, then down to 400FT later in the night).

As colder air sinks across the island, rain and drizzle will begin to turn to snow over high ground, while falling as sleet or rain at lower levels, but through the night the snow level will gradually lower, possibly getting as low as 400FT. Precipitation is expected to be mostly light, with only slight accumulations expected down to 400FT, but with moderate accumulations possible over 1000FT. Any accumulations of sleet or snow will lead to icy/slippery surfaces.

This area of precipitation will clear tomorrow morning, leaving the rest of the day dry but cold.
