Will it snow in Newcastle: Weather warnings to impact parts of North East throughout weekend

Snow is currently covering parts of the UK, causing lovely scenes and travel chaos in equal measure, but the North East has remained relatively unscathed for now.

However, the Met Office has issued weather warnings across the region for the upcoming weekend with parts of Northumberland expected to see the worst of the conditions.

The warning which has been issued to the region runs from midday on Thursday, February 8 until the morning of Friday, February 9 with the impacted area staying away from the east coast and mainly covering inland areas before reaching across to the opposite coast.

This impacted area includes much of Northumberland and County Durham.
