According to the Met Office, there is a small chance that businesses and homes could flood, and fast flowing or deep floodwater could cause hazardous conditions.
Spray and flooding could also lead to difficult driving conditions.
A yellow weather warning for wind has also been issued for Saturday and Sunday across England.
Gusts of up to 70mph are expected inland, while coastal areas could see winds of around 80mph.
