Nottingham City Council will grit roads tonight, with road surface temperatures forecast to fall to -2.3°C and hoar frost expected.
The plan, issued at 1.28pm on Friday 13 November, covers the period into Saturday and follows the council’s first gritting action of the season on Thursday.
Hoar frost is forecast overnight, although the council’s update lists no ice or snowfall for tonight.
The outlook shows minimum road surface temperatures remaining below freezing over the weekend, falling to -0.2°C on Saturday and -0.3°C on Sunday. Hoar frost is expected on both days, with ice also forecast for Sunday.
Monday’s minimum road surface temperature is expected to reach 0.2°C, with no ice or hoar frost forecast, before falling to -1°C on Tuesday, when both are expected.
No snowfall is forecast throughout the outlook.
The temperatures refer to road surfaces rather than air temperatures.
