Latest snow forecast for the North East after hazardous weather conditions in County Durham

Snow, sleet, and rain caused havoc on the roads in County Durham over the weekend - but will the region see more of the white stuff?

The Met Office warned that Sunday would be cold with blustery showers of a mixture of rain, sleet, and snow in the North East.

And while the snow initially occurred mainly on high grounds, the snow fell to lower levels in some places as the day progressed which caused major travel disruptions.

There were hazardous conditions on the A66 Westbound in both directions between the A685 (Brough) and the A67 (Bowes) due to heavy snowfall.

Overnight, the wintery showers eventually faded but the Met Office warned that Monday morning will be cold and crisp with frost.

Throughout the day, winds will strengthen while a little rain is expected for many later on in the day although temperatures will gradually rise.

Looking ahead to the rest of the week, Tuesday will be slightly milder but cloudy and wet with these conditions clearing southwards midweek.

This will leave brighter but colder weather and wintry showers later on in the week.

Below is the full North East weather forecast:

Monday:

A fine, cold and crisp start with frost, soon giving way to cloudier conditions and strengthening winds.

A little rain is expected for many later, with temperatures gradually rising. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Changeable and rather windy through this period.

Probably milder but rather cloudy and wet Tuesday, with these conditions clearing southwards midweek to leave brighter but colder weather and wintry showers.
