Travel disruption in Northern Ireland is possible over the weekend before Christmas with the Met Office warning of likely delays to road, rail, air, and ferry transport.<\/p>\n

Weather warnings for strong winds are in place, with gusts between 50-60mph (80-95km\/h) expected on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Coastal and high ground areas are expected to experience stronger gusts.<\/p>\n

Wintry showers on Saturday night and through Sunday are also likely to bring snow, especially over hills and mountains, affecting some communities and higher transport routes. The yellow alert lasts from 07:00 GMT until midnight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Large waves and spray could affect coastal communities with possible power outages for parts of Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Given that it is the last shopping weekend before Christmas, increased travel volume could increase disruption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
