Storm Eunice is approaching with rain developing this evening and in the early hours of Friday.
An amber weather warning for wind is currently in place for Gloucestershire.
The Met Office have put together some essential information which will help minimise the impact of the gales due to hit Gloucestershire on Friday.
Prepare for flooding
Storm Eunice is forecast to cause a tidal surge along Severn and Wye Estuary.
The tidal surge is possible Friday morning, and the Environment Agency is urging people to take steps to protect themselves and their property. Flooding is possible from Avonmouth and up the Severn into Gloucestershire and along the Wye from Chepstow to Monmouth.
Please familiarise yourself with our flood guide, which provides information on what to do before, during and after a flood.
