Storm Goretti: Yellow weather warning for snow in Skipton

A yellow weather warning for snow has been issued for Skipton as Storm Goretti brings colder conditions across parts of the UK.

The warning, issued by the Met Office, is in place from 5pm today (Thursday) until 12pm tomorrow (Friday).

During this period, light snow showers are expected to affect parts of North Yorkshire.

Forecasters say there is a chance of disruption to travel, particularly on higher ground, with icy conditions also possible as temperatures drop overnight.

Some roads and pavements may become slippery, and bus or train services could experience delays.

The Met Office notes that weather conditions may vary significantly over short distances, with some places seeing little impact while others experience heavier snow showers.

The yellow warning indicates that while severe weather is not certain, it is possible and may cause some disruption if it occurs.

School closures

When snow falls, parents and carers are encouraged to check in with Your Skipton Radio for the latest school closure information. 

Schools and parents contact the station directly when decisions are made, meaning updates can be shared quickly with the local community.

Any confirmed school closures will be listed on the Your Skipton website here, while regular updates will also be shared on air throughout the day.
