A WEATHER warning for wind has been issued for Anglesey, Gwynedd and Conwy, as Storm Ashley looms for the area.

Severe, gale force winds and heavy rain are predicted, for parts of the UK, with forecasters keeping an eye on the situation.
We're keeping a close eye on developments in the Atlantic Ocean this weekend 👀

The Met Office has warned of disruption to travel, power cuts and a small chance of injuries and danger to life.
Large waves and beach material being thrown onto roads and properties are expected.
Tony Wisson, Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “This low-pressure system is not expected to develop until Friday near the coast of Canada, so at this stage there is still a lot of uncertainty about the strength and track of this system as it interacts with the jet stream over the weekend.
"It’s likely that parts of Ireland will see impacts from this before the UK though.
"It’s likely that Sunday’s wind warning will be updated and refined as confidence increases, and more warnings for the rainfall that is expected is likely. It is therefore important people stay up to date with the latest forecast.”
