'Be careful' warning to Lancashire motorists in blustery conditions

Lancashire motorists were urged to be cautious today as strong winds and rain swept across the county.

Heavy rain fell overnight, and coupled with high winds this morning made driving conditions difficult.

North West Motorway Police tweeted: "Weather is wet and windy so if you have to venture out drive to the conditions."

Today is forecast to be cloudy at times and quite chilly with showers, some heavy and possibly wintry on higher levels.
