A new yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office as the North East is expected to see more snow next week.

The warning is in place from 5pm tomorrow until 10am on Tuesday and covers much of the North East.

Warnings of rain, sleet and snow are in place followed by ice that is likely to cause disruption to travel.

The forecaster has warned that some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times for road, bus and train services.

The Northern Echo:

There could be some injuries to slips and falls as well as a result of icy surfaces and there could be some icy patches on untreated roads.

It comes as the region was blanketed in snow after Storm Larisa wreaked havoc, leading to school closures and road closures.

Schools across the region were forced to close after the cold weather including a number in Darlington such as Beaumont Hill Academy, Longfield Academy and High Coniscliffe Primary School.

Meanwhile, the A66 was also closed overnight and into the morning due to heavy snowfall, before being reopened.

Here is the forecast for this week:

Monday:

More rain pushing in from the north will turn wintry at times later on Monday, especially over higher ground. Remaining breezy for much of the day, but colder than Sunday. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

A frosty start, and turning drier and sunnier on Tuesday, with a few snow showers. Another frost Wednesday with widespread rain and snow. Thursday mild with overnight rain lingering.
