An ice weather alert warning of 'tricky travel' conditions has been issued for Dorset as temperatures continue to drop.
The Met Office has warned that surfaces may become icy in places on Sunday night (November 28) and early Monday morning (November 29).
The weather forecaster has issued a yellow weather warning for ice from 3pm on Sunday until 10am on Monday.
There was a weather warning already in place but the warning area has been extended to over Dorset given evening rain, sleet and snow and temperatures.
Met Office says surfaces may become icy in places on Sunday night and early Monday, making for "tricky travel".
The area of coverage of tonight's yellow #ice warning has been extended a little over southern England given this evening's #rain, #sleet and #snow, and the fact that #temperatures are likely to fall below freezing.

The weather alert warns of some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, making accidents more likely and journey times longer.
Icy surfaces are also likely, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
A description of the weather warning reads: "Showers or longer spells of sleet and snow should tend to clear this evening.
"As skies clear, a widespread frost will develop, leading to the chance of icy surfaces in these areas, and also where lying snow has partly melted during the day."
