THE Isle of Wight Met Service has issued a yellow weather warning for freezing fog and ice today (Saturday), with temperatures expected to drop as low as -6C overnight. Island Roads gritters will be treating precautionary routes from 9pm tonight, as well as bridge decks at Stag Lane and Foxes Road. According to local forecasters, through the evening, we will see areas of fog developing quickly. These will become freezing and widespread, leading to very poor visibility locally, along with significant icy deposits where the fog is at its thickest. Icy stretches are also likely on untreated roads and surfaces.
ISLAND Roads is preparing for the upcoming cold weather with gritters taking to Isle of Wight Roads this afternoon. Gritters will be out and about from 4pm today (Wednesday) and again at 5am tomorrow morning as the winter maintenance fleet undertake a series of activities to ensure everything is in working order. The temperature is set to go below zero degrees, with a low of -3c forecast. Usually, the decision to run the gritters is taken based on specialist weather forecasts, observations made by the Island Roads team and readings from the two weather stations on Brading Down and on the Middle Road which represent one of the highest and lowest points on the Island.
