Met Office Yellow warnings have been issued as Storm Amy will bring very strong winds and heavy rain to the Skipton area over the next few days.
The warnings are place from 3pm today (Friday) until the end of Saturday. As the storm moves away strong winds are also expected at times on Sunday morning.
Heavy rainfall is likely to lead to travel disruption and some flooding, while strong winds have the potential to cause damage and power cuts.
Met Office Chief Forecaster Neil Armstrong said:
“Within the Scotland amber warning area, gusts in excess of 95mph are possible from Friday evening and into Saturday morning as Stormy Amy brings a risk of power cuts and damage to buildings and trees. Gusts up to 80 mph are possible within the Northern Ireland warning area, more widely 60-70 mph gusts are expected in the Amber warning areas, in what will be an impactful autumn storm for many in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
“Rainfall is an additional hazard, in particular over western Scotland, where totals could exceed 30-50mm in 6-9 hours, increasing the risk of flooding for some. Warnings will continue to be tweaked and amended in the coming days as confidence increases so stay up to date with the latest Met Office forecast and warnings.”
