Storm Bram is on the way as strong winds expected to hit Northern Ireland
The Met Office has warned Storm Bram may cause some disruption tomorrow (Tues 9th Dec), particularly across western Northern Ireland.
Gusts around 50-60 mph are possible fairly widely, and potentially in excess of 70 mph for some exposed headlands and high ground.
Forecasters have warned "there is a small chance of even stronger winds should the area of low pressure pass closer to Ireland."
A yellow weather warning has been issued from 9am to 9pm tomorrow for strong winds.
What should I expect?
⚠️ Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport expected with a chance of cancellations
⚠️Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges and a chance some roads and bridges could close
⚠️Coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves
⚠️There is a small chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris
⚠️There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs
⚠️There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage
