Residents in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, should prepare for heavy snow and strong winds on Sunday, February 15, 2026. The Met Office has forecast a high chance of winter weather that could make travel difficult across the area.

Forecasters predict a 90 per cent chance of heavy snow starting at around 6:00 AM. Wind gusts could reach 38 mph during the morning, and temperatures will feel as cold as -5°C at the peak of the snowfall.

The snow is expected to turn into sleet by the late morning and light rain by midday as temperatures rise to 5°C. Drivers using the A19, A66, and the A174 Parkway may face difficult conditions, particularly at Ormesby Bank where vehicles have historically struggled in icy weather.

The winter weather comes just before Middlesbrough FC plays Coventry City away at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Monday evening. The snow and wind might affect fans traveling from Teesside for the game.

Middlesbrough Council is responsible for gritting main roads and bus routes to keep the town moving. People are encouraged to check for updates on road conditions and gritting routes before they start their journeys on Sunday morning.
