Saturday is expected to be a lot calmer with no weather alerts issued at this stage.

In fact, the Met Office says we can expect sunny intervals by late morning after a cloudy start to the weekend.

However, forecasters have predicted the winds will pick up again on Sunday, issuing a yellow weather warning which will be in place from 8am until 3pm.

The alert covers Blackpool, Fleetwood, Thornton, Cleveleys, Lytham, St Annes, Kirkham, Knott End and Heysham.

A spokesman for the Met Office said: “A further period of strong south to southeasterly winds accompanied by some heavy rain is expected to move into the southwest on Sunday morning, then spread to other southern and western areas through the day.

“Winds are likely to gust 50 to 60 mph quite widely, and around some exposed coasts and hills gusts to 70 mph are possible.”

Residents were urged to prepare for more delays to road, rail, air and ferry services, as well as power cuts and the loss of other services such as mobile phone coverage.
