2-5cm could fall at low levels with up to 30cm possible on high ground.
The Met Office weather warning is in place from Wednesday morning at 5:00am until 9:00pm on Thursday. The warning area covers most of the area including Whitby, Scarborough and Filey.
They say there is a chance of a period of heavy snow across this region and that should it occur it is likely to cause significant travel disruption.
"An area of rain pushing north-eastwards is expected to increasingly fall as snow, at least for a time, as it encounters colder air across Scotland and parts of northern England. Heavier snowfall is more likely above 150 m, where 5-15 cm of snow may accumulate, and possibly as much as 30 cm of snow in a few locations. At lower levels 2 - 5 cm may accumulate but there remains a possibility that milder air makes more inroads, with the snow turning back to rain more widely, in this case snowfall would largely be restricted to the highest ground. A brief period of freezing rain, which would bring areas of ice, is possible in the western, especially south-western, part of the warning area on Wednesday morning
