Storm Doris: Where and when in South Yorkshire will the 'weather bomb' hit?

The Met Office has issued an Amber National Severe Weather Warning with gusts of 80mph, heavy rain and some snow expected.

While the strongest winds look to be only short lived, the Met Office has warned that Yorkshire & Humber is likely to expect damage to structures, interruptions to power supplies and widespread disruption to travel networks.

Experts have also warned of a danger of injury from flying debris with trees also likely to be damaged or blown over.

Motorists have been warned to take extra care in the stormy weather with traffic experts urging people to reduce their speed and allow plenty of room between vehicles.

The brunt of the deep low pressure system developing in the Atlantic is predicted to hit the UK on Thursday with Yorkshire & Humber expecting adverse weather from 6am.

Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington said: “We have named Storm Doris as we expect winds of up to 80mph, heavy rain and some snowfall to cause disruption across some central and northern parts of the UK on Thursday.

“Currently the most likely track of the low pressure system is across Northern Ireland and northern England and we expect to see the strongest winds in the north of Wales and central England.

"As well as heavy rain, as the low pressure system moves eastwards it will draw down cold air from the north which will cause some of this precipitation to fall as snow across parts of northern England and Scotland.

"It will be a very unsettled day of weather so make sure you keep up to date with your local forecast and any weather warnings for your area.”
