It covers the Black Country, Shropshire, Staffordshire and Mid Wales.

The spokesman added: "Slower journey times with delays to bus and train services possible. There is a chance of delays or cancellations to flights."

The forecast states: "After a cold and frosty start, tomorrow will be another dry day with sunny periods, albeit possibly cloudier than today.
