Two weather warnings from Met Office

Ronaldsway Met Office has issued two weather warnings today as the Island braces itself for gale force winds and snow.

Meteorologists have put out an amber warning for lunchtime today as gales at around midday bring a risk of pushing waves onto exposed roads during high tide at 1pm and 1.30 tomorrow morning.

A yellow weather warning is also in place from 9pm tomorrow, with icy temperatures and heavy wintry showers bringing ice and snow.

The warning runs until 9am on Sunday, with the south of the Island expected to bear the brunt of the snow into the weekend.
