An orange danger warning has been sent out for the area, and it was updated on Sunday.
The wind gusts can locally reach over 40 meters per second, says Meteorological Institute.
– An intense storm center is being developed just west of the coast of northern Norway during Sunday. There have been a lot of uncertainties in the forecasts until today, but the forecasts now seem to agree on a very strong westerly wind towards the coast of Finnmark on Sunday evening and early night until Monday, it is said.
At the same time, a yellow danger warning has been issued for strong winds in North Troms.
The meteorologist on duty at StormGeo, Olav Erikstad, informs TV 2 that there is no danger that there will be major damage to major infrastructure.
– It can probably go with a boathouse at the very end of the coast, but there is no danger that the roof may loosen, says Erikstad.
Erikstad emphasizes that there is a strong wind, and that those who live in the area should attach loose objects.
– Attach loose objects, avoid traffic in exposed places, check directions and the like, says Erikstad.
– It is not an extreme warning, but there is a strong wind in the area.
The Meteorological Institute states that the wind will lie from night to Tuesday.
