The warning area includes Sleights, Goathland, East & West Ayton and Staxton, where a few centremeters of snow is possible.
A weather warning for snow has been issued by the Met Office for much of the area for Thursday, although the immediate coastline including Whitby, Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington are just outside of the warning area.
An Atlantic weather system will bump into a pool of cold air over the country, though the exact track is still uncertain.
The warning area covers much of the north of England, so commuters are being advised to take care.
The warning is in force from 6:00am Thursday until 6:00am Friday.
The warning reads:
A band of rain, sleet, and increasingly snow, will push north on Thursday bringing up to 2cm snow at lower-levels, 2-5cm on ground above 200m, and perhaps as much as 10-20cm above 400m. The snow will ease later in the day, and may turn back to rain or drizzle, especially in the south and east of the area. There is some uncertainty with respect to the rain/snow boundary, and the northern limit of the snow, and so details may change in the coming days as confidence increases in these aspects.
We will have regular travel updates throughout the day on air.
