A yellow weather warning for wind is in place across Northern Ireland on Sunday.
The warning will last from 10:00 to 19:00 GMT with many areas experiencing gusts up to 40-60 mph.
It comes two days after Storm Éowyn brought winds of more than 90mph to Northern Ireland.
“Given ongoing recovery work after Storm Éowyn, impacts may be more widespread than would ordinarily be expected with winds of this strength,” the Met Office said.
The Police Service for Northern Ireland (PSNI) have warned people to take care when driving as many roads are still impassable following Storm Éowyn, with fallen trees, power lines and debris.
A yellow warning was also issued for snow and ice from 18:00 GMT on Saturday to 10:00 on Sunday.
As of 16:30 GMT on Saturday, about 140,000 properties were still without electricity.
Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) Networks say some residents will be without power for up to 10 days.
In the Republic of Ireland, there were approximately 353,000 customers still without power as of 20:45 local time on Saturday, down from a peak of 768,000 as a result of Storm Éowyn.
Train lines are beginning to reopen following “extensive damage” across the network.
Translink said the Belfast routes to Bangor and Portadown have reopened.
Clearance work is continuing on the Larne and Londonderry line.
Due to planned rail works, the cross border route to Dublin terminates at Drogheda with a bus replacement taking passengers the rest of the journey.
Metro, Glider and Ulsterbus services returned on Friday with some diversions in place due to ongoing road closures and clearance work in the wake of the storm.
