" It will become very windy on Tuesday night for parts of Northern Ireland , Wales and western England with gusts of wind reaching 50mph to 60mph - Strong enough to bring down some tree branches and cause some localised disruption, " He Said .
" There is a chance that a stronger Low Pressure could develop bringing a few gusts as high as 70mph or even 80mph to areas adjoining the Irish Sea , but there is a degree of uncertainty due to the fact that the area of Low Pressure hasn't even started to develop just yet.
