Will Yorkshire see snow this week? Yellow weather warning in place across the region

The Met Office warning is in place from 6pm on Sunday, January 15 until 10am on Monday (16).

Forecasters said: “Icy surfaces are expected to develop following wintry showers leading to some difficult travelling conditions.”

But can the region expect to see some snow?

The Met Office said thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain will spread eastwards later this evening and overnight, with precipitation turning to snow over high ground, and perhaps to lower levels for a time.

On Monday the rain and snow will clear and it will be dry and bright day.

However, it will still feel cold despite the sunshine, with temperatures struggling to get above freezing in places.

Looking further in the week, forecasters said: “Feeling cold throughout, with widespread sharp overnight frosts and ice risk. Sunny spells Tuesday, snow showers late Wednesday, then dry with bright spells again Thursday. Breezy at times.”
