Amber Weather Warning Issued For Monday And Tuesday
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for Monday and Tuesday - advising people to be prepared for severe weather.
There are predictions of strong winds, which could be severe in places, especially along the east coast.
There are also fears heavy rainfall could cause flooding, especially over Antrim and Down.
"We have an amber alert in force for Monday and Tuesday and that means to be prepared, in this case, for heavy and persistent rain,” said BBC weather presenter Barra Best.
"We're expecting up to 60mm or two and a half inches of rain.
"The amber warning extends into Tuesday as the area of low pressure responsible hovers right over us.
"But the good news is, it'll improve from the middle of the week."
