“Please be aware that some localised disruption to travel is likely.”
There may also be some freezing fog patches.
The warning comes after parts of the county woke to a blanket of snow this morning.
Commuters faced rush hour misery as the weather caused tailbacks on roads around the region.
There were also major delays to flights at Leeds Bradford Airport, which was temporarily closed.
