Forecasters have said that snow, with a risk of widespread ice, is likely to push slowly northeast from late Monday.
If the snow and ice does hit on Monday evening then expect travel delays, rural communities being cut off and power cuts.
This latest weather warning for the district comes just over a week after flooding and two weeks after heavy snow.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said this morning:
"A band of rain, locally heavy in places, is likely to push slowly northeast across Wales and England late Monday.
"As this rain comes into contact with cold air in place, it is likely to readily turn to snow across parts of Wales, the Midlands, and later parts of northern England.
"1-4 cm of snow is quite likely away from coasts, with 5-10 cm possible above about 150 metres."
