BBC Weather is predicting sleet and snow will probably fall in the city for several days towards the end of the month.
It suggests snow is most likely to fall on Friday January 30 and Saturday January 31.
And in the days before that the city will experience long periods of sleet and icy mornings.
It says easterly winds will bring the sleet, snow and plummeting temperatures.
The forecasters admit in their latest monthly forecast that there is uncertainty over what will happen in the latter part of January, with a possibility that the current milder Atlantic weather will continue.
However, they say a cold scenario remains ‘more probable than a mild one.’
They say: ”Current indications suggest high pressure becoming established to the northeast and north of the UK, driving cold easterly winds across the country.
“If this pattern develops, temperatures are likely to fall further below normal, and with occasionally stiff winds there could be sharp wind chill, especially along eastern coasts.

“Penetrating frosts would be a risk, with hit-and-miss snow showers and some more organised bands of snow bringing accumulations to some areas.”
Bradford has so far missed out on most of the snow experienced elsewhere in the country, for example on the North York Moors and in coastal areas, where northerly winds brought heavy snow showers earlier this month, causing traffic chaos.
