A WEATHER warning for snow and ice in Bradford overnight and tomorrow has been slightly adjusted by the Met Office, with a second warning introduced.

The yellow warning for snow and ice was in place until Wednesday night, but it has now been shortened to Tuesday at 11.59pm.

However, a second yellow warning, from 6pm on Tuesday until 4am on Wednesday, is warning of heavy rain and the possibility of flooding.

The snow and ice warning, which comes into force at 10pm today, warns of "snow, with a risk of widespread ice during Monday night and particularly Tuesday, bringing difficult travelling conditions".

Forecasters at the Met Office added: "As rain pushes northeast and comes into contact with cold air, it will readily turn to snow.

"One to three centimetres of snow is likely across some low ground, with five to 10cm in places above 150 m over northern England.

20cm of snow could affect the highest level routes - above 300-400m - where drifting and temporary blizzard conditions may occur.

"Snow is likely to to turn to rain later on Tuesday across much of northern England.

"As well as snow, some freezing rain is possible for parts of northern England. Should this occur widespread icy stretches would form."

Once the snow is gone, the rain warning takes its place and is saying that the heavy rain combined with snow melt will "probably lead to flooding".

Forecasters said for this warning: "Following earlier heavy snowfall, a period of heavy rain late Tuesday and overnight into early Wednesday will lead to a relatively rapid thaw.

"The combination of rain and melting snow may lead to some flooding."

People whose houses or businesses are potentially at risk of flooding are warned to take the necessary precautions to protect their property.
