A yellow weather warning has been issued for parts of Northern Ireland due to strong winds. The warning is in place from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday morning and is expected to impact travel.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for parts of Northern Ireland due to strong winds. The warning is in place from 3pm on Tuesday, December 17 to 8am on Wednesday, December 18 and will mainly impact the East and parts of the North Coast in Co Down and Co Antrim. The Met Office has warned that due to the weather warning, there could be disruption to transport and bridge closures could be put in place for high sided vehicles. Wind speeds could reach as high as 50mph or more.
While the weather warning is due to end at 8am on Wednesday, the Met Office has said that windy and wet weather is likely to continue throughout the day. The Met Office said: 'Southerly winds will strengthen through Tuesday afternoon, evening and night, with gales developing along some exposed coasts. Peak gusts of 40-50 mph are likely fairly widely inland, with perhaps 50-60 mph in more exposed places, including along some coasts. 'This may lead to some disruption to ferry crossings, with tricky travelling conditions possible on higher level and west-east routes. Winds will start to ease in Northern Ireland during the early hours of Wednesday, and then in many other areas around or after dawn.
