A yellow wind warning will be in effect from 6am tomorrow (Sunday, February 23) until 6pm on the same day affecting residents living in Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Telford and the other parts of Shropshire.
The Met Office has warned that strong winds, with gusts of 50 to 60mph, may cause delays to road, rail and air transport around Shropshire. There could also be possible loss of power and other services in some regions.
The latest forecast on the Met Office website said: “Southerly to southwesterly winds are expected to increase through Sunday morning, peaking late morning to early afternoon with gusts of 50-60mph, and perhaps as much as 70mph in exposed spots along Irish Sea coastlines, Scottish Islands, and other areas of high ground further inland.”
A yellow rain warning is in place for many other areas across the country this weekend but Shropshire should remain dry.
The Met Office advises residents across the county should check travel information and road conditions ahead of commuting, and to prepare for potential power cuts throughout the day.
