Road users in North Yorkshire are being advised to consider whether they need to travel and, if so, to make sure they are prepared as strong winds and rain are forecast for the region tomorrow (December 7).

Storm Barra is forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain eastwards into the afternoon before clearing to the north-east in the evening.

The rain may turn to snow, especially over higher grounds.

Gusts of 45 to 50mph are forecast, possibly increasing to between 55 and 65mph in the afternoon and early evening along the coast.
