The greatest risk of snow and freezing rain (where rain falls onto frozen surfaces and forms dangerous black ice) will be across the hills of northern England during Saturday, with parts of Scotland also at risk of sleet and snow.
Met Office meteorologist Matthew Lehnert said: "Through Saturday the rain will move further east and as it does it'll bump into the colder air, meaning some snow is likely, mainly for parts of northern England, covered by the snow and ice warning.
A yellow weather warning for snow and ice is in place across parts of northern England for Saturday - covering the North East and parts of Yorkshire, from 6am to 2pm, according to the Met Office.
