A second yellow warning will then come into effect from 3pm on Friday afternoon until 6pm on Saturday.

The Met Office says disruption from snow and ice is likely on Friday and Saturday.

People are also advised there is a small chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces and a small chance untreated pavements and cycle paths become impassable.
