A Yellow Warning for snow is in force with frequent snow showers predicted to hit the Yorkshire Coast from Monday.

A Yellow Warning for snow is in force for the Whitby area for Monday and the whole of the Yorkshire Coast for Tuesday.

The Met Office have this warning for Monday:

A band of rain, sleet and snow is expected to move south during Monday followed by frequent snow and hail showers. Whilst the highest accumulations of 5-10 cm are most likely over northern Scotland, there is a small chance of more organised and persistent spells of snow developing elsewhere in this (warning) area, and could bring 2 to 5 cm even at lower levels. Into Monday night, showers are expected to continue, and ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces where snow has melted by day.

And this warning for Tuesday:

Cold, blustery northerly winds will continue to drive frequent showers of snow and hail into these areas on Tuesday. The highest accumulations are likely again over the high ground of northern Scotland, where another 5-10 cm are possible by the end of the day. Accumulations at lower levels are most likely overnight where 2-5 cm could accumulate locally. Icy stretches are also a likelihood, especially during hours of darkness.

This Is The Coast will have regular weather and travel reports, plus details of school closures. To report any problems, call 01723 336444.
