Northern Ireland's Easter Winds: Yellow Alert

0:00On April 1st, heads up, folks, Northern Ireland's facing a yellow weather warning for killer winds this Easter weekend with gusts hitting up to 70 miles per hour. The alert kicks in at 6pm on Saturday April 4th and runs till 12pm on Sunday April 5th, thanks to a beefy low-pressure system barreling, northeast toward the northwest UK.

Expect 50 to 60 miles per hour blast across most areas, cranking to 60 or 70 in the windiest places, especially Saturday night into. Early Sunday. Winds should start chilling out by Sunday afternoon, so plan your holiday drive smart and stay tuned to updates from the Met Office.
