ICY conditions could cause problems on the roads and pavements overnight, the Met Office has warned.
A yellow weather warning – meaning be aware – has been issued for Dorset.
It comes into force from 7pm tonight until 10am on Friday.
The Met Office said: “There will probably be some ice on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths leading to some injuries from slips and falls.”
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Showers will continue pushing across Wales and western England through Thursday night and into Friday. With some cold air in place these will fall as a mixture of rain, sleet and hail at low levels with snow mainly above 150 m.
“Surface temperatures will readily fall on Thursday evening leading to icy stretches forming, mainly on untreated surfaces but with continuing showers some wash off is possible.”
Bournemouth council’s gritters will be treating main routes from 7pm tonight.
Dorset's gritters will out and about at 7pm tonight and 4am on Friday morning.
