:00:14. > :00:23.strongest hurricane ever is expected to make landfall in the next few
:00:24. > :00:29.hours. Hurricane Irma has the potential to cause catastrophic
:00:30. > :00:34.damage. The combination of the wind, the heavy rain and a huge storm
:00:35. > :00:38.surge heading towards the Leeward Isles will cause significant damage.
:00:39. > :00:42.The storm surge is where there is almost like a bolt in the ocean
:00:43. > :00:47.underneath the low pressure. That will lift the wall of the ocean by
:00:48. > :00:52.nine to 11 feet, over three metres. Back close to home when things are
:00:53. > :00:55.quieter. We have seen some rain, some of it heavy through
:00:56. > :01:03.Lincolnshire and North Norfolk over the last couple of hours. That will
:01:04. > :01:06.ease away as we go through the night and things quietened down. The error
:01:07. > :01:11.is starting to come from a westerly direction. A fair amount of isobars.
:01:12. > :01:15.The westerly flow will mean a fresher feel first thing tomorrow.
:01:16. > :01:19.In the countryside we could see single figures. That could be a

:01:24. > :01:29.we will see a driver on the sunshine coming through. The westerly breeze
:01:30. > :01:35.driving in cloud. Showers chiefly to the north and west. In the east they
:01:36. > :01:42.will see the best of the sunshine. The best of the warmth as well.
:01:43. > :01:46.14-16 in the north and west. As we move out of Wednesday it looks as
:01:47. > :01:50.though the winds will continue to strengthen. More significant, heavy
:01:51. > :01:54.rain moving through Scotland, Northern Ireland and eventually
:01:55. > :01:57.through the Borders, down to north-west England and Wales. We
:01:58. > :02:01.should stay relatively dry with sunshine in the south-east of it
:02:02. > :02:06.will feel disappointing in the cloud and rain. 13-15 at the very best. It
:02:07. > :02:13.looks as though the front will bring rain to all of us at some point
