It comes after one of the first dry weekends of 2020 for the region, as the weather looked to pick up following Storms Ciara and Dennis, but the wet weather looks set to return, with the yellow warning in place from 6pm on Monday to noon on Tuesday.
Its forecast for Yorkshire says: "Showers across western hills becoming more isolated in the morning, drier and brighter elsewhere. Cloud thickening from the west through the afternoon, with some heavy rain later, and strengthening winds.
