The warning, which spans from 6am to 6pm tomorrow, will effect residents living across the West Midlands - including Wolverhampton, Walsall, Sandwell and Birmingham.
The Met Office has warned that strong winds, with gusts of 50 to 60mph, may cause delays to road, rail and air transport. There could also be possible loss of power and other services in some regions.
The latest forecast on the Met Office website said: “Southerly to southwesterly winds are expected to increase through Sunday morning, peaking late morning to early afternoon with gusts of 50-60mph, and perhaps as much as 70mph in exposed spots along Irish Sea coastlines, Scottish Islands, and other areas of high ground further inland.”
The Met Office advises residents across the county should check travel information and road conditions ahead of commuting, and to prepare for potential power cuts throughout the day.
A yellow rain warning is in place for many other areas across the country this weekend but the majority of the West Midlands will remain dry.
