As the storm moves west this evening the highest winds are expected to be over parts of Cornwall during the early hours of Friday, when gusts could reach as high as 75mph in the most exposed areas.

The Met Office Said: "Other coastal areas in southern parts of England and Wales will also see high gusts, mainly between 40 and 60mph, and this brings with it the chance for some travel disruption and damage to temporary structures."

In the Vale tomorrow it will be a breezy start with scattered showers through the morning. Temperatures will reach 20 degrees with sunny spells and showers in the afternoon.
