There is a 60-70 per cent probability of cold temperatures, icy conditions and or snow in the region this week, the Met Office says.
The snow and ice weather warnings issued by the Met Office urge people to take extra care when walking, cycling or driving in affected areas, as there are likely to be widespread icy stretches on untreated roads and pavements.
Most road networks should be open but journeys through affected areas may take longer than usual, the Met Office warns.
The AA advises motorists driving in snowy and icy conditions to factor in greater stopping distances, which are 10 times longer in ice and snow. Gentle manoeuvres are vital.
If the car starts to slide, steer into the skid and keep your feet off the brake and throttle until the vehicle is back under control.
Nottingham could see sleet showers throughout the afternoon today, from around midday until 6pm. This will most likely be followed by heavy showers until around 9pm.
