FORECASTERS have issued a severe weather warning for fog across the region.

The Met Office released the severe 'yellow' warning to cover parts of England including Warrington, Cheshire, Merseyside and Halton tomorrow, Tuesday, from 4am until 11am.

Some dense fog and freezing patches could cause travel disruption to drivers and commuters.

There is a warning that there could also be delays to bus and train services and delays or cancellations to some flights.

A Met Office spokesman said: "Visibility could be less than 100m in places across parts of England and east Wales on Tuesday morning.

"While the fog is expected to gradually lift and thin during the morning some patches could persist until lunchtime in the east."
