Met Office issues weather warning as North East looks set for icy conditions after snow and sleet

The Met Office has issued a weather warning for the North East as an artic blast looks set to bring icy conditions.

The leading meteorologists have issued a 'yellow weather warning' for the region amid worries that there is the potential for ice developing. They believe this could lead to some "challenging travelling conditions on Thursday night and Friday morning".

The weather warning is in place between 5pm on Thursday and 10am on Friday. This comes as the Met Office expect "a band of sleet and snow will clear south through the remainder of this afternoon which could result in some patchy accumulations of 1-2 cm, mainly on hills".
