The Met Office explains: "A period of very strong winds may develop through Friday morning, before slowly easing into Friday evening.
"Winds will be strongest over, and immediately to the east of high ground, with gusts of 50-60 mph. Gusts as high as 70 mph are possible, particularly for some of the more exposed trans-Pennine routes. High-sided vehicles may be particularly impacted."
