Bradford and other areas of West Yorkshire are set to see some levels of snowfall next week.
It comes as one of the latest Met Office forecasts has revealed the exact day and time it will arrive across the region.
The forecasters have said that “potentially impactful snow is possible" as we head into next week due to a wave of cold Arctic air on its way.
However, with around a week to go until that transition occurs, the Met Office said there’s still “plenty of detail to work out.”
Things will turn colder again over the weekend. ❄️ Next week could see some more widespread and potentially heavy snow but details at this range are uncertain.

Deputy chief meteorologist David Hayter explained: “While the initial snow risk from Sunday (January 14) onwards is looking most likely to be coastal areas in the north of the UK, including North Sea and Irish Sea coasts, there’s an ongoing likelihood of some disruptive snow through the middle to latter part of next week.
“What we’re keeping an eye on for this disruptive snow is where exactly this milder air from the southwest bumps into the cold air that will be in place over the UK.
“It’s where these airmasses meet that there’s a likelihood of some substantial snow for some places.
“At the moment, models are showing us a variety of options for exactly when and how this situation plays out and it’s something we’ll be able to add more details to in the coming days.”
