Following hot on the heals of #StormCiara, #StormDennis is due to hit the Sefton coastline from the west this Saturday 15th February and last over the weekend and into Monday.

A YELLOW warning from the Met Office currently warns disruption due to rain from Saturday 3pm until Sunday 3pm. Storm Dennis is likely to bring very heavy rain, flooding and disruption to travel over this weekend. High winds are also expected over the weekend as well.

We will get more than 100mm of rainfall in a single day, bringing a risk of flooding, accompanied by high winds. Storm Dennis will bring a month of rainfall in just 24 hours this weekend, the Met Office has said.

The Met Office has issued warnings for the following:

Delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are possible and there is a small chance that some roads and bridges could close.

Some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities are likely to be affected by spray and/or large waves.

There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs.

There is a slight chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.
