Icy stretches developing tonight likely to lead to some difficult driving conditions.
Moderate weather warning
Upcoming
From Today 18:00 (4 hours from now)
Until Tomorrow 10:00 (20 hours from now)
Official warning explanations:

An area of rain and hill snow (snow mainly above 200 m but not expected to be impactful) will clear to the southeast tonight with skies then at least partially clearing. This will result in temperatures falling below freezing and some icy stretches developing on untreated surfaces. This is likely to lead to difficult driving conditions. These conditions will probably not develop across northern England and southeast Scotland until the end of the night. Across northern Scotland, icy conditions are likely to be exacerbated by some wintry showers, with snow falling to low levels for a time before becoming mainly confined to higher ground late in the night. No more than 1-2 cm is likely at lower levels, with higher ground perhaps seeing up to 4 or 5 cm from these wintry showers.

Instructions:

Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
