There are some large winter storms lining up across the Atlantic with the British Isles right in their path. The strong Jet Stream is powering the winter storms towards the UK with strong winds and heavy rain. December has already been a stormy month, with the UKs worst storm surge in 60 years hitting coastal areas after a deep low pressure passed over.
Over the next 24 hours another deep low pressure is bringing heavy rain and very strong winds, with gusts up to 80mph across Scotland with strong winds across much of the UK. The Met Office has issued warnings with the Environment agency issuing flood warnings for areas in Scotland.
However, forecasters are worried more about another deepening low pressure system out in the Atlantic which will hit the UK this weekend, with potentially heavier rain and stronger winds. It seems the stormy weather is set to continue into Christmas week, with the chances of a White Christmas being slim. Any chances of snow, come Thursday and this weekend when the deep low pressure has past it brings a brief cold blast which brings with it some snow showers.
