The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind.
A weather warning for strong wind has been issued for the Harrogate district.
The Met Office has put the yellow warning in place for Friday (February 17) between 6am and 6pm.
The organisation has said strong winds through the day “may bring disruption to traffic”.
It has also warned that there is a “slight chance” of power cuts and cancellations to public transport services.
Meanwhile, Northern Powergrid has assured people that it is aware of the warning and has measures in place to tackle any disruption to its network.
A statement from the company said:
“Teams are ready to mobilise colleagues and support as this situation develops.
“This weather front does have the potential to have an impact and cause damage to the network, so there is a possibility that there could be disruption to power supplies in at least some parts of the region.
“Relevant teams are on standby and ready to be diverted onto the storm response should this materialise.”
