Dorset is set to get battered by wind and rain tomorrow.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning, meaning be aware, for South and West Dorset.
The warning is in place from 6am until 6pm tomorrow.
A spokesman for The Met Office said: “Heavy rain and gales will affect parts of Northern Ireland and southwestern areas of the UK on Saturday. The wettest areas could see 30 to 50 mm of rain in 6 to 12 hours, while winds could gust to between 50 and 60 mph, especially in exposed coastal areas. The combination of these factors on a busy shopping weekend, may add to potential disruption.”
Residents have been told to expect:
• Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
• Flooding of a few homes and business is possible
• Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely
• Some short-term loss of power and other services is possible
• Some festive events may be affected by poor conditions.
