A flood warning has been issued for a Leeds city centre street on Tuesday as forecasters warn of icy conditions across the rest of the city.

The flood warning was issued on Monday evening after persistent heavy rainfall and melting snow caused river levels to peak.

Wintry showers are expected to fall in Leeds until 11am and drivers and pedestrians are warned to expect icy patches throughout the morning.

It will stay largely dry throughout the afternoon, but there is a risk of further showers until 7pm.
