Gales of up to 80mph are on the way
A more severe amber warning for 'potentially damaging winds' has been issued for parts of Lancashire this weekend with the arrival of the fourth named storm of the season.
It also extends inland covering areas of Preston, Chorley, South Ribble, Fylde and Wyre. The warning comes into effect at 3am on Saturday and lasts until 9pm the same day. A Met Office spokesperson said: "Storm Darragh is likely to cross Ireland late Friday, then parts of England and Wales on Saturday, clearing to the east of England on Saturday night or early Sunday. Darragh could bring a period of strong winds to much of the warning area.
"The wind may cause disruption to travel, with difficult driving conditions likely. The duration of the strongest winds in any one location is likely to be less than 24 hours, but this warning is for a more extended period to cover the passage of the strong winds over the whole country. These start in the west on Friday evening, and clear from the east coasts of England and Scotland early on Sunday.
