Snow arrives as Met Office issues weather warning for Leeds - hour by hour forecast
Parts of West Yorkshire were today waking up to snow as the Met Office has issued warnings for snow and ice.
The yellow weather warning, which forecasters warn could lead to some disruption, is in place until 3pm today.
It comes as they say a band of snow will move across the warning area during Sunday.
A yellow warning for snow and ice came into force at 2am on Sunday for much of Scotland, the East and West Midlands, north-east and north-west England and Yorkshire until 3pm.
Between 2cm and 5cm of snow is likely in the alert area, with 10-20cm possible above 200 metres.
Met Office forecaster Craig Snell said a new weather system is expected to bring milder conditions and rain during a “messy transition” from Storm Goretti.
Speaking on Saturday, he added: “It will bump up into the cold air and turn to snow again, but this time it is coming in with some milder air so it will transition back to rain for some of us as we go through the course of the night and into tomorrow and that again could lead to some problems with ice so we already have warnings out ahead of that.
“This time the milder air will eventually win the day and it will herald a very different flavour of weather for all of us as we go into next week, but it’s going to be a very kind of messy transition.”
