The aftermath of Storm Doris is due to bring a period of cold weather to Preston and Lancashire.

Met Office warnings begin from 6pm on Thursday evening as the high winds begin to drop – with icy temperatures creeping in.

The yellow weather warning is in place as temperatures drop rapidly during Thursday evening and into Friday morning.

The warning states: “Icy stretches will form on many untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths this evening, overnight and into Friday morning. In addition wintry showers could give 1-3 cm of snow in places, mainly on higher ground above 150 m.”

The warning for high winds ends around 8pm according to the Met Office.
