A yellow warning for snow and ice has been issued for Suffolk.

The Met Office has issued a weather warning from 6pm today until 12pm tomorrow for areas near the Norfolk border, including Beccles, and coastal towns such as Southwold, Lowestoft, and Aldeburgh.

Forecasters are advising residents to take care on the roads as wintry weather could lead to difficult driving conditions.

Snow showers are expected to develop this evening and continue overnight into tomorrow morning, initially in the north and spreading south.

There is a likelihood of 2-3cm of snow in some areas, with up to 10cm possible on higher ground.

Ice is also expected to form on untreated surfaces which will increase the risk of hazardous travel.
