Ronaldsway Met Office has its own amber warning for the peak winds on Friday morning.
The warning will come into effect as a yellow warning, before lifting to an amber during the morning with the peak of the winds (8am-1pm), then lowering to a yellow again for the remainder of the period.
Expected Conditions: “Winds beginning a gale force south-easterly will quickly increase severe gale to storm force south-westerly in the morning. Wind gusts of 65-70mph at first will quickly become 75-79 mph during the morning.
“These wind strengths will lead to fallen branches/trees, some structural damage with flying debris, as well as disruption to travel.
“The peak of these winds is expected between 8am and 1pm, easing slightly to become severe gale force in the afternoon, still with gusts up to 60mph, before further decreasing down to a gale force wind later in the evening.
“This warning will be monitored and if necessary updated in the coming days depending on the development of Storm Éowyn.”
A yellow warning has also been issued for coastal overtopping.
