Storm Ashley to bring a spell of strong winds on Sunday

From the Met Office: Initially a period of strong south to south-easterly winds will likely develop through Sunday morning, with gusts of 50-60 mph possible in some inland areas, especially Northern Ireland and western Scotland, and perhaps up to 60-70 mph along exposed coasts and hills in the west. Winds will then turn south-westerly, with a period of especially strong winds possible during Sunday afternoon and evening across western Scotland where gusts could potentially reach 70-80 mph in exposed areas, and more generally 55-65 mph in other parts of the warning area. These strong winds in conjunction with high spring tides and large waves may cause some disruption.

From CW Weather: In addition to the winds further spells of heavy rain may lead to further surface flooding in places but given the strength of the winds the rain should pass through quickly, nevertheless heavy and blustery showers will follow on in behind, especially across the northwest of the UK.
