Northern Ireland weather weather warning issued for Sunday
The yellow alert for strong winds, which may lead to some disruption, covers all of Northern Ireland and comes into effect at 03:00 GMT on Sunday until 15:00.
The Met Office issued the warning on Thursday.
Large waves may come onshore and rain will accompany the strong winds, which will make for very poor weather conditions, especially on roads.
Delays and disruption to transport can be expected again, with possible damage to trees and some infrastructure.
