Met Office issues ice weather warning for Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington- here's what you need to know
A yellow weather warning for ice has been issued by the Met Office which covers the Yorkshire coast.
The weather warning for ice will be in place from 6pm this evening (February 16) until 10am tomorrow morning (February 17).
The entire Yorkshire coast will be affected by the warning, including Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington.
Clearing skies, following areas of rain, sleet and hill snow for a time on Monday night, will lead to the risk of icy patches into Tuesday
There is a risk of some injuries caused by slips and falls on icy surfaces, and there might be icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths. The Met Office have said; “Areas of rain, sleet, and hill snow will move southeastwards through Monday evening and night before clearing to the North Sea.
“Whilst some patchy accumulations of snow will be possible, more especially on ground above 150-200 m elevation, ice will be a greater hazard as temperatures fall fairly quickly once showers clear away.
“In addition, a period of strong northwesterly winds are also likely along some North Sea coasts later in the night and into Tuesday morning.”
