Hartlepool could be getting its first snowfall of 2026 this weekend
The town could be getting a covering of snow at the weekend as the Met Office issues a weather warning for snow and ice across the region.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in Hartlepool on Saturday, January 3, from midnight until 11.59pm.
Residents and motorists can expect heavy snow showers throughout the day, which may bring disruption to travel.
Snow showers are expected to move in from the coast in the early hours of the morning, becoming frequent and heavy at times.
The Met Office said: “The snow showers will gradually become lighter and less frequent during Saturday evening, and move offshore overnight.
"Icy patches will also form, particularly during Saturday evening, where roads have potentially been left wet from partially thawed snow during the daytime.”
Around one to three centimetres of snow is expected, with five to eight centimetres possible in some places.
Saturday will also be a lot cooler, with temperatures forecast between one degrees Celsius and minus three degrees Celsius.
