The Met Office has issued a series of weather warnings as Storm Antoni prepares to batter the UK with spells of heavy rain.
According to forecasters Storm Antoni will arrive late Friday night and continue into Saturday. It's expected to bring with it strong winds and heavy rain, resulting in wind weather warning for southern and eastern Wales as well as the southwest and south coast of England.
Travel disruptions are also expected across parts of the UK with an increased risk of uneasy road conditions and falling trees. Met Office Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington further explained how the intense weather conditions will move through the UK.

He said: "Storm Antoni will bring some potentially disruptive weather on Saturday as it moves from west to east. Northern Ireland is likely to see some of the highest rainfall totals, with 40-60mm falling in some spots, but 20-30 more widely. Away from the warning area many will still see a very wet day, especially in north Wales and north England.
“Storm Antoni will also bring strong winds to a swathe of Wales, southwest England and southern coastal areas of England. The strongest winds will affect parts southwest England and southwest Wales where exposed coasts and high ground could see gusts in excess of 60mph. In these areas, gusts inland could reach 50-55mph for a time. These windy conditions will likely coincide with high tides which will present an additional challenge for coastal areas.
