Snow is set to continue to fall across Yorkshire this morning.
Heavy snow, high winds and a maximum temperature of five degrees have been forecast by the Met Office this morning ahead of an anticipated storm.
This morning, Leeds city centre has already seen sunshine, snow, wind and rain, but the Met Office predict that this confused weather will bring us a cold, wintry day.
Flood alerts still remain in place across Yorkshire, but all alerts in Leeds city centre have now been removed.
The Middle River Aire catchment alert was removed at 10am this morning, with the government website reporting: “river levels have now fallen below levels of concern on the Middle River Aire Catchment. There is no longer a threat of flooding”.
East of Leeds, towards York, Selby, Doncaster, Copmanthorpe and surrounding areas all still have flood alerts and warnings as the River Ouse is still recovering from the heavy rainfall brought by Storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin.
In Leeds, the wind is expected to pick up throughout the day with “occasional blustery wintry showers, but also some bright spells”. The expectation from the Met Office is that the showers will remain in the west and cold weather, especially in the wind.
Tonight, the minimum temperature will be zero degrees. The Met Office says: “a band of squally winds and wintry showers will arrive during the evening. Wintry showers becoming more isolated during the night, with winds easing slightly. Clear spells developing. Minimum temperature 0 °C.”
