SNOW is forecast to hit Bradford tomorrow morning.
According to the Met Office, there will be heavy snow between 5am and 7am, which will later turn to heavy rain.
A spokesperson said it will be a largely dry and chilly night with light winds and clear skies through the evening.
"However, cloud will increase after midnight with rain, sleet and snow spreading in later. Minimum temperature 0°C," they added.
A weather warning for rain and snow has been issued for tomorrow, in place from 2am until 3pm.
It says: "A band of rain reaching southern parts of northern England during Sunday night quickly turns to snow before spreading northeastwards across the rest of the warning area.
"Across northern England, snow will then turn to rain from the south and west through the course of the morning before slowly turning to rain at lower levels over the part of the warning area in Scotland.
"The bulk of accumulations will be above 200 metres where 2-5 cm is likely in many areas whilst above 300 to 400 metres 5 to 10 cm is expected.
"At lower levels accumulations will be smaller, patchier and shorter-lived and it may be that little, if any, snow falls in some eastern coastal areas.
"A brief spell of freezing rain is possible as snow begins to turn to rain, leading to icy stretches. Meanwhile, given saturated ground and recent flooding, the combination of snow melt and rain may also bring about some disruption, mainly over parts of northern England."
Kirklees Council is planning a full grit of its roads tomorrow morning.
It's forecast to drop cold tonight snow possible early Monday morning. We'll be monitoring overnight and there'll be a full grit at 5am. Please take extra care when travelling as after the rain, there's lots of water on our roads which can wash grit away.
