North Yorkshire weather: Strong winds expected as Met Office issues weather warning

As the county stil recovers from Storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin, Storm Gladys is set to hit the north of England today and tomorrow.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and wind in Scotland, while a yellow weather warning for wind has been issued covering parts of the North.

The west of North Yorkshire is covered by the weather warning, although the rest of the county is still expecting to experience more high winds, snow and rain.

Heavy rain is set to hit the area later this evening.

The Met Office forecast says: "A bright but windy start for most, with gales in places. Some patchy light rain at times, mainly over the Pennines, but brighter spells to the east. Heavier rain, and later hill snow, moving southeast through the evening. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

"Tonight, a band of rain and hill snow clearing away south, followed by colder conditions with clear spells and winds easing. Patchy frost with some wintry showers developing later. Minimum temperature 0 °C."

A yellow weather warning means:

- Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely

- Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely

- Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer

- Some short term loss of power and other services is possible

There are also still 19 flood warnings in place across Yorkshire, and 14 flood alerts.

The Environment Agency (EA) is urging communities in parts of the West Midlands and Yorkshire, especially those along the Rivers Severn and Ouse, to be prepared for significant flooding following high rainfall from Storm Franklin.

Around 400 properties have flooded across different parts of the country as a result of the heavy rain.
