AN AMBER weather warning of strong winds has been issued as storm Doris is expected to hit Herefordshire tomorrow. 

The Met Office has extended the at-risk area to the county and strong winds are expected from 6am to 8pm tomorrow. 

The warning issued at 10am this morning, which applies to Herefordshire, said: "Some very strong winds are expected on Thursday in association with storm Doris with gusts of 60 to 70 mph likely, and 70 to 80 mph on coasts and hills.

"Whilst the strongest winds look to be only short-lived, damage to structures, interruptions to power supplies and widespread disruption to travel networks are likely, with a danger of injury from flying debris.

"Trees are also likely to be damaged or blown over. Heavy rain is also likely through Thursday as well as some snow over high ground as the system clears eastwards. These may prove additional hazards."
