A weather warning has been issued by the Met Office
A yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office running from midday on Wednesday to 7am on Thursday, with the potential of danger to life. A settled start is expected to Wednesday before heavy rain and strong gales batter the county.
The weather warning specifically covers wind and affects the whole county, along with most of the UK. However, the Met Office could issue more warnings relating to rain as the forecast becomes more clear over time.The wind warning highlights the chance of some damage to building from strong winds, as well as the possibility of power cuts for some. Transport disruption is also likely, with some roads and bridges likely to close.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Steve Ramsdale said: “While the precise track and depth of Storm Agnes is still being determined, there’s a high likelihood of wind gusts around 50 to 60mph for some inland areas. Exposed coastal areas could see gusts of 65-75 mph with a small chance of a few places seeing around 80mph.
“As well as some very strong winds for many, Storm Agnes will also bring some heavy rain, with the highest totals more likely in Scotland, northern England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Around 60mm of rain is possible in a few places over high ground in Scotland.” Get all the latest Lancashire news straight to your inbox for free with the LancsLive daily newsletter.
