Freezing fog and ice are set to cause traffic disruption across Northern Ireland as a new weather warning has been issued.
The Met Office has put out a yellow weather warning for freezing fog and patches of ice which is likely to lead to some slow or difficult journeys on Sunday night and Monday morning.
The warning is in place across the whole of Northern Ireland from 4pm on Sunday to 11am on Monday, December 12.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Freezing fog is expected to become more extensive overnight and could produce significantly reduced visibility to 50-100 metres at times, as well as patchy ice on untreated surfaces. Additionally, snowfall that is now easing near and over the Cotswolds, as well as isolated showers elsewhere may lead to some ice developing on untreated surfaces.
"Although becoming less widespread and thick by lunchtime, some places may be affected by fog for the remainder of the day, particularly in Northern Ireland and northern England."
The temperature fell to -7C in Katesbridge, Co Down, on Saturday night and it is expected to fall even lower in some places tonight.
