Storm Isha set to batter the Yorkshire coast: Here's your weather report for Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington

After an intense cold snap with a lot of snowfall, the Yorkshire coast is expected to get warmer with strong winds and rain this weekend, according to the Met Office.

The Met Office has said that the cold Arctic air currently in place over the UK will start to be displaced from Friday onwards, allowing milder air to return.

However, while temperatures will increase from the markedly low figures of recent days, this change in airmass will also introduce a return to much windier weather for Sunday and Monday as well as bring spells of rain.

Wind gusts could reach up to 55mph this weekend on the coast, with two weather warnings for winds set to cover Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington.
