Storm Darragh is on the way and is set to bring high winds and rain to the Lancaster and Morecambe area.
Met Office warnings for winds will rise to amber level on Saturday meaning that disruption and damage is likely.
Yellow weather warnings are in force for rain until early Sunday morning, and amber warnings for wind start early on Saturday morning until late evening, for the whole of the North West.
Gusts of up to 60mph are predicted for the Lancaster and Morecambe area, peaking on Saturday afternoon.
Due to the weather forecast, tomorrow's Morecambe Parkrun on the Promenade has been cancelled, and the Winter Lantern Parade scheduled through the streets of the West End has been postponed until Friday December 13.
A flood alert was in place from the Environment Agency on Friday, for the Lower River Lune and Conder area.
This means that rising river levels due to heavy rainfall this evening may lead to flooding, with the areas most at risk including River Lune, Conder and Keer and other watercourses from Kirkby Lonsdale to Galgate including Gressingham, Carnforth, Hornby, Wray, Bentham and Lancaster.
Further flooding is possible tomorrow as river levels will rise due to Storm Darragh.
Lancaster City Council said they will not be deploying flood boards on the Prom as "we’re not in a period of particularly high tides (so) the risk of flooding from the sea is not significant".
"However, spray from the sea could result in surface water along the promenade so please look after yourselves and stay vigilant during the storm conditions," said a council spokesperson.
Transpennine Express and Northern have said that their train services may be affected by the weather and are advising people to allow plenty of time for their journey and check before travelling.
Morecambe RNLI lifeboat service has asked people near the coast to be aware of the dangers the stormy weather will bring.
Chris Cousens, Regional Water Safety Lead said: ‘We know the predicted weather this week could lead to dangerous and uncertain conditions.
‘If you plan on visiting the coast, the RNLI advises that you stay a safe distance from the water as conditions could knock you off your feet or wash you into the sea. It is not worth risking your life.
'If you find yourself in trouble unexpectedly in the water, remember to Float to Live; lie back in the water, extend your arms and legs and try to relax as best as you can until you get control of your breathing.
‘If you see someone else in danger in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard. If you have something that floats that they can hold on to, throw it to them. Don’t go in the water yourself – you may end up in difficulty too.’
The RNLI's safety advice is:
Stay well back from stormy, wintery seas and cliff edges
Check the weather forecast and tide times before you go
Take a phone with you
In an emergency, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.
As Storm Darragh approaches the UK, the Met Office has issued a red warning, the most serious, for 3am to 11am on Saturday, covering western and southern coastal regions of Wales, as well as the Bristol Channel including parts of Bristol and Cardiff.
