"A spell of very wet and windy weather will develop during Friday morning," says Jamie Russell, of the Isle of Wight Met Service.
"Wind gusts of 65-70mph are possible around exposed coasts and hills, and this will be accompanied by some heavy and squally rain.
"The heaviest rain and strongest winds are only likely to last a few hours, although during that time we could potentially see rainfall totals of up to 15mm.
"And whilst that isn’t a huge rainfall total for a 24 hour period, it is a siginificant amount to fall over just a few hours.
"The timing of the worst conditions may also affect the morning rush hour traffic."
