Met Office issues weather warning for Easter weekend in Northumberland
Strong winds are forecast to hit Northumberland over the Easter weekend.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for North East England between 6pm on Saturday and 12pm on Sunday.
It says a spell of very strong winds later Saturday and overnight into Easter Sunday morning may cause some damage and travel disruption.
Its forecast states: “A rapidly deepening area of low pressure is likely to move northeastwards close to or across northwestern parts of the UK during Saturday evening and night, clearing to the North Sea by Sunday.
"Whilst there is some uncertainty over the exact track, intensity and shape of this area of low pressure, a period of strong west to southwesterly winds is expected during Saturday night and into the first part of Easter Sunday, before gradually easing through the day.
"Peak gusts of 50-60 mph will be possible fairly widely, with 60-70 mph in more exposed locations. There is a slight chance of some very strong winds across parts of Scotland, particularly in the west, where gusts of 80-90 mph may be possible in exposed areas for a time.”
