A YELLOW weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for Worcestershire. 

The Met Office has warned that ice and some snow would lead to difficult travel conditions in some places across the county.

The yellow weather comes into effect tonight (Monday) from 9pm and last until 10am on Tuesday.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "A band of rain will edge southwards through the course of Monday evening and early Tuesday, this rain turning to snow on hills and perhaps to lower levels in places.

"Many areas will see little or no accumulations of snow, but one to two centimetres could settle in some spots, most likely over high ground and southern parts of the warning area.

"The rain and snow is then expected to turn light and patchy as it slowly clears southern England on Tuesday.

"As skies clear overnight, ice is also likely to form readily on untreated surfaces."

The Met Office warns that some snow could lead to difficult travel conditions in places.

Some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

People are also at risk of inuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

There is likely to be some icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
