Two new weather warnings issued in Yorkshire as Storm Eunice aftermath hits

The Met Office has issued two new weather warnings set to affect all of Yorkshire in the aftermath of Storm Eunice.

We've already seen blustery winds as well as a downfall of rain and even flurries of snow but the county is still set to endure some more rough weather.

Heavy rain and very strong winds are predicted to deal Yorkshire an even tougher day in terms of weather, with the warning coming into place at midnight Saturday.

It will last until 6pm on Sunday and here's what the warnings could mean for the county.

For the yellow warning of rain, the Met Office warns that the heavy rain is expected to lead to some disruption.

Their warning states that spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures, causing delays or cancellations to train and bus services.

There is also a chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings and a small chance that some communities will become cut off by fast flowing or deep floodwater.

The Met Office also warns of a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses

Yorkshire is also under a yellow warning of wind.

This means there is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs.

The Met Office does also state that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.

As always, when bad weather occurs, journeys are likely to take longer and those travelling should be prepared for public transport being forced to cancel.

Currently weather forecasts predict that wind gusts could reach well over 40.
