Temperatures are expected to drop on Thursday evening in Belgium. The Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI) has issued a code yellow weather warning for ice, snow and fog across the country.
The ex-storm depression Conall is moving from northern Germany to Poland, bringing unstable air from the North Sea into Belgium. On Thursday night, a high-pressure core will settle over Belgium, and temperatures will drop to below freezing, bringing a chance of light frost.
"Locally, icy patches may cause slipperiness, especially in the east," the RMI noted. It has issued a code yellow warning for ice on the roads from 23:00 on Thursday. It will remain in place until 10:00 on Friday. The warning applies to all of Belgium, including Brussels.
Fog may also develop later in the evening, for which another code yellow has been issued, from 22:00 on Thursday until 10:00 on Friday. "Between early evening on Thursday and Friday morning, (freezing) fog may develop, reducing visibility to less than 200 metres."

On Friday morning, temperatures will rise just above freezing in the south of the country and in the northeast. Drivers in these areas should remain cautious on the roads throughout the day.
Temperatures will drop well below 0°C both on Friday and Saturday night, and in the daytime in the south, meaning roads here may remain slippery throughout the weekend.
