Storm Goretti: Met Office issue another weekend weather warning as bad weather continues
The Met Office has issued another weather warning for the weekend ahead.
It has been a cold start to the year for the North East and, although the first impacts of Storm Goretti have not hit the region, more snow might be on the way.
This week has seen plenty of weather warnings, with the service issuing its last of the week.
The warning, which covers the majority of Scotland as well as Northumberland, Cumbria, Tyne and Wear as well as parts of Yorkshire is due to run from 2am on Sunday, January 11 until 3pm the same day.
It warns impacted areas of snow and ice.
The Met Office is warning of possible travel delays in addition to the chance of trips and falls. It also claims there are chances of power cuts across the region.
Freezing temperatures are expected to continue through the weekend and into the day of the warning, according to the weather service’s forecast.
A combination of rain and snow is expected throughout Sunday morning, with temperatures peaking at 3°C later in the day, although the morning will barely see conditions rise above 1°C.
High winds are also expected on Sunday. Gusts are expected to start early in the morning, hitting 16 miles per hour by 5am and rising to 22 miles per hour by 2pm. Despite this, no warnings are in place for wind at the time of writing.
