Elsewhere in the UK, strong winds of up to 90mph are feared and the Met Office has issued an 'amber' alert for areas north of Greater Manchester and Scotland.
Forecasters predict Storm Dudley will move across the northern half of the nation from Wednesday night into Thursday morning - and Storm Eunice will follow.
in Greater Manchester, the Storm Dudley alert is in force from 3pm today - Wednesday - until 6am on Thursday.
Storm Eunice is likely to affect the majority of the UK on Friday, bringing a period of very strong winds that could cause significant disruption.
In a Met Office daily forecast video, meteorologist Alex Deakin has warned people in the affected areas to brace for 'heavy rain and ever-strengthening winds'.
"It's going to be a windy day throughout with those winds continuing to pick up through the afternoon and the evening," he said.
"There will be some snow on the hills across Scotland, but it's the rain and more particularly the wind we're concerned about in this storm system on Wednesday.
"It's likely to cause transport disruption and dangerous conditions by the sea."
