A WEATHER warning for ice will be in place for Bradford overnight, with temperatures expected to to drop to near freezing.

The yellow weather warning will be in place from 7pm today until 9am tomorrow.

With wind-chill, much of the district will feel sub-zero temperatures overnight.

The Met Office has said: "Ice is likely to form on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

"This increases the risk of accidents, as well as injuries from slips and falls."

The Met Office Chief Forecaster added: "After a clear start in many areas with the temperature falling below freezing through Monday evening, it will turn cloudier from the north, with the possibility of some wintry showers in places.

"The temperature may come back above freezing in some places for a time, but will fall below again where the cloud breaks.

"Therefore, ice is likely to form where untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths are left wet after snow melts during the day, or partly melted snow refreezes, and where wintry showers occur overnight."

Bradford Council will have its gritting teams out across the district treating the road surfaces.

A tweet from Bradford Council said: "Gritters will be out on their routes tonight from 6pm. Our main (primary) routes cover about 60% of the total roads in Bradford."
