I don't think events will be too severe at all, away from Wales and the SW. The rain tonight is essentially light and will be pushed on quickly by strong upper winds. Prone locations are at risk of floods of course but in the main, the majority in England will have a good drying day tomorrow with a few light showers (away from W) with fresh to strong winds - gusting to gale force in exposed areas. So many people are talking in the street about the 'storm'. The extensive media coverage will leave many scratching their heads. The exception will be the already flooded locations and the few places which are on the brink. MetO App shows just gusts to 57 mph.... and this is for the S coast. Vastly overhyped . To be fair, so was Wednesday's system. Again, not meaning to lessen the impact on those affected but in terms of intensity, we have had far, far worse. This is a cumulative situation which has led to the media, incorrectly, portraying each system as near ground breaking. Just my opinion.
