for disruption tomorrow with predicted gusts of between 60

:00:38.:00:39.

and 80mph in some areas, South Yorkshire and North

stranger to bad weather. Tomorrow, her pub in the sleepy

:01:00.:01:04.

village of High Bradfield We're really high up here,

:01:05.:01:07.

at the top of the hill. It hits us from the back and we do

:01:08.:01:18.

get hit really badly. The back gets hit really badly,

so we end up the tables We just stack them all

than 90mph. Police across the county are urging

people to stay inside. The advice from West

Yorkshire Fire Service, And Highways England have issued

:01:40.:01:41.

a severe weather warning. We really encourage drivers

:01:42.:01:46.

to check the conditions before they set out,

plan their route, make use of the Traffic England website

as they're travelling. Back in the pub, punters

:02:02.:02:03.

are getting prepared. I'm a bit worried about crashing

business, so I'll be delivering tomorrow,

:02:12.:02:19.

up to Bradfield, to a few I work on the seventh floor

:02:20.:02:21.

of a building in Sheffield, so if it's a bit windy and really

:02:22.:02:28.

blowing up there, so I'm just a bit afraid if it blows about,

:02:29.:02:32.

anything like that. So for now, everyone's safe

:02:33.:02:34.

and warm in this cosy pub. I've just seen the last people out

:02:35.:02:37.

here in High Bradfield tying down their bins,

:02:38.:02:39.

getting ready for tomorrow. Everyone's braced,

:02:40.:02:41.

everyone's prepared, Paul is with us now. Where are the

:02:42.:02:56.

strongest winds likely to be? There's some uncertainty, because

:02:57.:03:00.

this is still developing off the coast of Ireland --. Unlike last

:03:01.:03:12.

time, there were gusts of 90mph in high Bradfield, this time the

:03:13.:03:16.

strongest gusts may be in more populated areas, in the Pennines.

:03:17.:03:21.

When you add in the fact this is going to happen tomorrow afternoon

:03:22.:03:25.

as opposed to the last couple of storms, overnight, when everyone is

:03:26.:03:28.

in bed, there is potential for disruption.

:03:29.:03:31.

So we're expecting it in the afternoon, such a busy time, people

:03:32.:03:35.

are out and about? Definitely, on the A1(M) one, high

recipes for disruption, the track is still to be pinned down, if that's

more parts of North Yorkshire and more parts of North Yorkshire and

South Yorkshire. It's brother to the south, South Yorkshire would escape.

If there is disruption, we will keep our focus on it.

a notable increase over the last 12 months -

we have had more discharges, yes. The worry is that that trend

continues and you will see those discharge figures rise next year

West Yorkshire MP Jo Cox says a huge weekend of events planned for June

:06:42.:06:50.

to mark the anniversary of her killing will be designed

to carry forward her legacy of love, What's being called

parties, picnics and Our correspondent John Cundy

reports. Those who knew Jo Cox say she loved

a party, and if the launch of The Great Get Together

:07:10.:07:14.

is anything to go by, the weekend of June the 17th

:07:15.:07:17.

and 18th really will be some party. Jo had this huge energy,

:07:18.:07:22.

this vitality, this love, and we didn't want the anniversary

:07:23.:07:24.

to be a mournful, solemn occasion. We wanted actually to be

:07:25.:07:29.

celebratory about the things that we have in common,

:07:30.:07:32.

and also we wanted it to bring Her killing was designed to divide

us and we can think of no better response to that than actually

:07:35.:07:39.

a huge act of national unity. The outpouring of grief

:07:40.:07:42.

by the community at the time of Jo's fatal shooting in Birstall

:07:43.:07:45.

last summer is just testament to how much loved the MP

towns and villages. Now, to celebrate all that Jo held

:07:56.:07:59.

dear in community togetherness, the launch in one of Jo's

:08:00.:08:02.

favourite Indian restaurants of The Great Get Together,

:08:03.:08:04.

planned for June. Across Yorkshire, friends,

:08:05.:08:09.

neighbours, and even until-now strangers, are being invited to come

:08:10.:08:14.

outdoors to celebrate the kind Jo Cox's parents were present,

:08:15.:08:17.

and her family and friends say she would have been thrilled

:08:18.:08:23.

at the idea of What I don't want to do is end up

:08:24.:08:25.

in a world of self-pity, because I know it's the last thing

:08:26.:08:30.

Jo would want. So, what I can choose to do

:08:31.:08:32.

is try to make something positive out of such a horrendous situation,

:08:33.:08:36.

and I feel a kind of duty that we need to continue stuff

:08:37.:08:40.

that Jo started locally, and doing something

:08:41.:08:42.

like The Great Get Together is the perfect opportunity

:08:43.:08:46.

to do that. It would be what she would have

:08:47.:08:47.

wanted to achieve, you know, the community and the whole

:08:48.:08:50.

constituency coming together, You know, it embodies

:08:51.:08:52.

her maiden speech. We have got much more in common

:08:53.:08:56.

than what divides us. For the devoted mum and the caring

:08:57.:08:59.

MP who graced the Commons benches all too briefly, June will be

:09:00.:09:03.

the perfect time to remember Jo Cox, a year after she lost her life

:09:04.:09:08.

at the hands of a crazed gunman. We start with the Amber alert area.

:09:09.:09:37.

It is going past South Yorkshire into the north Midlands, but the

:09:38.:09:42.

track could alter. That's the broad area, we think. Here she is, coming

:09:43.:09:49.

off the coast of Northern Ireland. It's late morning into early

:09:50.:09:52.

afternoon, you see the isobars there. The strong winds transferring

:09:53.:09:59.

from the North Sea. This is the one front associated with that storm,

:10:00.:10:02.

bringing weather from the southwest. That train will pick up later

:10:03.:10:08.

tonight and we will see temperatures down to 4 degrees. Thursday is

:10:09.:10:13.

pretty cloudy, showers or a longer outbreaks of rain. It's mainly rain,

:10:14.:10:20.

so really quite heavy. Those strong winds kicked in through the course

:10:21.:10:24.

of the afternoon, particularly across parts of South Yorkshire.

:10:25.:10:31.

Still quite windy across West Yorkshire, less wind across North

:10:32.:10:35.

Yorkshire, though picking up later, highs of 10 degrees. Those winds

:10:36.:10:40.

transferring into the North Sea tomorrow evening, taking with it

:10:41.:10:45.

rain. There will be a number of showers following for the north west

:10:46.:10:49.

overnight, largely dying out by first light Friday morning. Friday

:10:50.:10:55.

looks and much better day, dry with sunshine, and Saturday and Sunday

:10:56.:10:59.

will be a reasonable amount of fine weather over the weekend. That is it

from Charlotte and me, some sunshine around and light

winds. For more on Doris and its impact, here is the national
