A yellow weather warning is in force for Preston and parts of Lancashire as ‘icy stretches could cause some disruption on Saturday night and Sunday morning’.
The ice warning, set at the lowest level, runs from 10pm on Saturday (29 November) until 9am on Sunday.
Injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces are possible and motorists are being warned of icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “Following rainfall earlier in the evening, surface temperatures are expected to fall widely below freezing. With surfaces left wet, ice is expected to form on untreated surfaces and may lead to hazardous travelling conditions.”
A separate weather warning is in force from first-thing on Monday (1 December) until 3am on Tuesday (2 December) as heavy rain is expected to sweep into the city.
