Snow warning for north-east issued by Met Office

A yellow weather warning for snow in the north-east area has been issued by the Met Office.

It will be in force from 3am to 9am on Friday.

The snow is likely to cause some travel disruption particularly on higher routes, with roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

The Met Office warning outlines: “Snow is expected to develop, particularly over higher ground, during the early hours of Friday before easing during the morning.

“Accumulating snow is expected to mainly occur above around 200 metres, with a chance of temporary accumulations below this where precipitation becomes temporarily heavy. 2-5cm of snow is expected fairly widely above 250 metres with a chance that a few places within the warning area at lower levels could see a few centimetres settle.

“Accumulations of 10 cm or more are expected to be reserved for above 300 metres.”
