Work to restore power after Storm Eowyn in Cumbria continues
Repairs could continue into Sunday
Work's underway to restore power across Cumbria and South-West Scotland after Storm Eowyn ((pron: ay-oh-win)) brought strong winds to the region.
Thousands of homes here are still without electricity, with Electricity North West saying it could be Sunday by the time everyone has power restored.
Winds reached 100mph on Friday as the storm left one person dead, more than a million people without power and caused significant travel disruption across the UK and Ireland.
Meanwhile, Cumberland Council says the Sands Centre site in Carlisle will be under constant observation due to the damage to its temporary canopy.
Strong winds brought by Storm Eowyn tore off a part of the RAAC replacement on the auditorium roof.
Eden Bridge, Rickerby Park, Memorial Bridge and Zero path were all closed to the public yesterday due to safety concerns.
They've reopened but councillors say if circumstances change, temporary closures will be reinstalled - the centre is also shut throughout the weekend.
Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said:
"Looking at Sunday, it's set to be a fairly fine start for a lot of areas - another ridge of high pressure building in to keep things fairly settled, with some sunny spells in there.
"The cloud, though, is going to be building as we see a low pressure system move into the South West. This will be bringing heavy rain in for south-west England and Wales from sort of mid-morning onwards, and then that will spread into Northern Ireland and northern England as we head later on into the afternoon.
"Winds will also be picking up with this feature. Certainly, it's not going to be as strong as Storm Eowyn. However, because it's coming in from the South West, it's going to be actually more southern areas of England that are going to see the strongest wind gusts compared to what has mostly been further towards the north."
An amber wind warning covering northern Scotland expired at 6am on Saturday, while a yellow wind warning covering the majority of Scotland will be in place until 3pm.
Those in the warning areas have been advised to secure loose items such as bins, garden furniture and trampolines outside their homes.
Yellow snow and ice warnings are in place in Northern Ireland until 10am on Saturday and in Scotland until 11am, with injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces possible.
Up to 10cm of snow could develop on high ground in Scotland throughout the morning.
A yellow ice warning covering parts of south-west England, the Midlands and southern and mid-Wales will be in place from 3am to 10am.
