The Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington areas are included in both of these warnings.
The Met Office have said: “Whilst there will be a lot of regional variation, with some places seeing little or no lying snow, where showers are most frequent accumulations of 2-5 cm are possible.
“However, the North York Moors, and perhaps parts of the Yorkshire Wolds, could potentially receive 15-25 cm of snow by Thursday, leading to some significant disruption.
“Gusty winds and perhaps a few lightning strikes may accompany some of the showers, posing as additional hazards. Where showers persist and/or snow partially thaws and then refreezes overnight, this will bring a risk of ice.”
