Heavy rain is forecast in our region for much of the morning and into the late afternoon, before cloudier conditions set in tonight with wind gusts of up to 46mph to hit in the early hours of Wednesday. Met Office chief meteorologist Steve Willington said Storm Jocelyn, named by Met Eireann, could cause further disruption in the wake of Storm Isha.

Travel disruption on the roads and railways both in Greater Manchester and across the areas covered by the weather warnings. Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon said Tuesday will be another wet day before windspeeds start to pick up towards the evening.

"Tuesday will be quite a wet day for many people with a rain front bringing the chance of disruption," he said. "Higher windspeeds will start to develop overnight on Tuesday into Wednesday morning.

"Windspeeds from Storm Jocelyn will be a slight notch down from Storm Isha, but with the clean up still underway, more disruption is likely."
