A spokesperson for the weather service added: “Storm Éowyn will bring a period of very unsettled, potentially disruptive, weather to the UK through Friday and into Saturday.
“Whilst there is some uncertainty in the track of Éowyn, a spell of very strong winds is likely, initially southeasterly before turning westerly, with peak gusts of 60-70 mph inland and 80-90 mph along some coasts and hills (perhaps even higher in a few locations).”
According to the current forecast, Liverpool residents can expect the worst conditions at around midday on Friday, with wind gusts of up to 60mph. By Saturday morning, gusts of 20mph are expected.
