Yellow warnings are in place over rain and wind in NI.
The Met Office says that “some heavy rain is likely, this falling on ground already saturated following the recent wet weather”.
There is due to be a change in the weather at the end of the week with colder air spreading from the north. It means wintry showers, but the worst of them is being predicted over the hills.
Operational meteorologist Stuart Brookes said: “Barney will have blown over to Denmark by the morning”.
“The strongest winds hitting Scotland will come from a separate low pressure system”.
“Gusts up to 70mph are possible inland, especially for Wales and central England, with higher values likely on the coasts”.
“These winds are not related to parney, but are part of another as yet nameless depression”.
Last week, storm Abigail brought lightning, heavy rain and severe gales of up to 84mph to the United Kingdom and thousands of homes were left without power.
Met Office spokesman Helen Roberts said winds began to pick up at about 2pm yesterday and the storm reached its peak between 5pm and 6pm when gales reached 66mph near Hawarden Airport.
THE Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the next few days as Storm Barney is on its way – which could batter the county.
WARNINGS have been issued against people trying to take “storm selfies” ahead of the arrival of bad weather later today.
However many other flood warnings across the region have been lifted.
