Storm Eunice is set to hit Worcestershire later this week, with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning for Friday.
But it is thought the county will avoid the worst of Storm Dudley, which is due to bring very strong winds to much of the UK on Wednesday.
There are currently no weather warnings in place for today (Tuesday, February 15), despite it being a wet and windy commute for many this morning.
The Met Office says we can expect today to get drier and brighter but to still expect showers, with winds increasing again tonight. Tomorrow will be wet and windy as Storm Dudley crosses the country, but mild with maximum temperatures of 14C.
The forecast for later this week is wet and very windy with possible hill snow on Friday as Storm Eunice arrives.
Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service has reminded people to “stay ahead” of the changeable weather this week.

The yellow weather warning for Friday warns of “significant disruption” with a small chance that flying debris will result in a danger to life.
Fallen trees, damage to buildings and homes, roofs being blown off and power lines coming down are all possible.
There is also the possibility that roads, bridges and railway lines could close.
