Currently, the forecast for Darlington suggests snow may be on the way late on Monday (November 18) evening and into Tuesday morning.
The forecaster has stated that there is a high chance of snow settling on higher ground - but less of a chance that it would cause disruption at lower levels.
They wrote: "Spells of rain, sleet, and snow are likely during Monday and overnight into Tuesday morning.
"There is a small chance of snow settling at lower levels, where 5 to 10 cm would prove much more disruptive, but this is very uncertain."
"The most likely scenario is for most of the snow to fall on high ground, with 5 to 10 cm possible above 300 metres and perhaps as much as 15 to 20 cm above 400 metres.
The forecaster added that the warning is set to have a "very low likelihood and a medium impact".
Here's a breakdown of the weather warnings in place and what you can expect.
