Elsewhere, Durham, Carlisle, Sheffield and York are estimated to be the worst hit areas in England with weather maps turning green suggesting that 2.5mm of rain could also fall per hour here. 0.6cm-1cm of snow could fall in parts of Yorkshire and the Humber.
Wrexham, Birmingham, London and most of the South east will all receive a hammering of rain with 0.6mm-1mm estimated.
South west England alongside south, mid and west Wales are the only areas that are forecast to escape from the brutal storm.
