A yellow weather alert warning of ice has been issued by the Met Office.
It remains in place until 10am on Tuesday morning.
Forecasters warn there could be some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, while ice patches could form on some untreated roads.
According to the Met Office there could be more wintry showers later today, particularly in hilly areas.
There could also be spells of hail or sleet.
However, there could be some brighter spells in the gaps between the showers.
Temperatures are expected to reach highs of 6C.
The wintry showers will continue through the evening and ice patches are likely to form.
Overnight temperatures are expected to plummet to 0C.
Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said: "Pretty much most of Manchester will be in the ice warning area which is in place from 7pm to 10am the next morning.
"There will be showers of rain, hail and sleet with the risk of ice on some surfaces. It is possible there might be some snow mixed up in that as well, but probably the risk is just in areas above 200m."
