Snow and ice are set to hit Cumbria tomorrow, prompting a weather warning.

Rain is expected to turn to snow, with up to 10cm in higher areas, followed by ice.

Motorists and rail passengers are told to expect disruption, with road and train travel likely to be affected.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning, starting at 12 noon tomorrow.

It will be in force until 11am on Wednesday.

The Met Office said: "A band of rain will arrive across Wales, northern and western England through the middle of Tuesday, then move eastwards through Tuesday afternoon and evening.

"The rain will turn quickly to snow on hills, then also to low levels in places.

"Three to five centimetres of snow is likely above 200 metres, with up to 10cm in a few places.

"A patchy covering of 1cm to 2cm is possible at low levels, although some places will see no snow at all.

"As skies clear overnight, ice is likely to form on some surfaces.

"In addition, wintry showers will follow into western areas on Wednesday morning, giving further slight accumulations of snow in a few places."

It warned that roads and railways are likely to be affected, with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces are also possible.

Ice is also expected on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
