The forecaster has also warned that freezing snow is a possibility in some areas.
A spokesperson said: "It can produce striking effects, as the rain drop spreads out momentarily across the surface before it freezes, encasing the surface in a layer of clear ice.
"However, it is not just these eye-catching scenes that the freezing rain can bring; the weight of the ice can sometimes be heavy enough to bring down trees and power lines, and the glaze of ice on the ground effectively turns roads and pathways into an ice rink."
