:23:43. > :23:46.you can't believe how six numbers can just change your life. Lorraine
:23:47. > :23:50.only bought the lucky dip ticket from a newsagents as she was waiting
:23:51. > :23:57.for a bus to work to arrive. The following morning she checked the

:24:59. > :25:02.be here? Quite a complicated picture as Storm Doris moves through. But we
:25:03. > :25:10.take you through the impact is likely to be. Gusts of 50-60 mph,
:25:11. > :25:13.heavy rain until snow. A number of weather warnings at the moment so I
:25:14. > :25:17.will take you through where they are. The first one is per rain
:25:18. > :25:21.affecting parts of Cumbria. This will be heavy and persistent but

:25:25. > :25:27.turns into snow. We could see a couple of centimetres of higher
:25:28. > :25:31.ground. Across parts of North Northumberland we could well see
:25:32. > :25:36.10-15 centimetres of snow so there is an amber warning here. Rain and
:25:37. > :25:42.snow is not the only problem, also a problem of wind. This yellow area
:25:43. > :25:47.here is where we are expecting the strongest gusts, 50-60 mph, a little
:25:48. > :25:53.bit further south and amber warning gusts of 70-80 mph for a time.
:25:54. > :25:58.Through the night tonight, we start of dry but we can start to see the

:26:10. > :26:12.night. Quite windy. The temperature dropping to around three or four

:26:37. > :26:41.all parts, winds swirling round. They pick up strength through the
