SNOW Warning For Yorkshire Coast From Saturday Onwards

We could see our coldest spell since the 'Beast from the East' in 2018 as temperatures plummet.

The Met Office have issued a warning for rain until Saturday, followed by a warning for snow from Saturday afternoon onwards.

The first warning says some spots could see up to 80mm of rain by Saturday:

"Periods of heavy rain are expected across northeast England during Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and into Saturday. Some large rainfall amounts are expected with 20-40 mm falling widely, and 60-80 mm in a few places, mainly on east-facing slopes. Some drier interludes are also expected at times. Following recent wet conditions, this heavy rain may bring some flooding, particularly to lowland areas, whilst higher ground is more likely to see snow. On Saturday, snow becomes more likely than rain with time as conditions turn colder".

From Saturday, as winds dig in from the east, the snow warning takes affect, in place from 3:00pm on 6th February:

Cold air will spread across the UK during the weekend with wintry showers likely to push inland into parts of England from the North Sea. This is likely to bring areas of accumulating snow through the period with some icy stretches developing. At this stage no single area can be highlighted as more at risk but given the coldness of the air disruption is possible at times.
