We're advising members to plan ahead and to stay up-to-date with the latest UK forecast, as the remnants of the storm that brought severe blizzards to the US hit the country.
At 9am this morning the Environment Agency had five flood warnings in place, meaning flooding is expected. Three are in the South West and two in the North West, including Cumbria. There are also more than 78 flood alerts - meaning flooding is possible - in England and Wales. Get the details here.
Westerly areas are expected to be worst affected.
Met Office Chief Operational Meteorologist, Will Lang said: "A deep area of low pressure will move East to pass to the North of Scotland during Tuesday. The associated frontal system will be active, bringing a spell of heavy rain to areas exposed to the South and South West.
"The rain will also be accompanied by South or southwesterly gales and possibly severe gales at times, especially over exposed coast and hills with large waves also expected. People should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel due to localised flooding."

Environment Secretary Elizabeth Truss said yesterday:
"I have today chaired a meeting of the government’s COBR committee as we prepare for more rain this week across the North of England and in the South West. This is likely to take place from Tuesday to Wednesday, with a further front expected on Friday.
"While we continue to monitor forecasts to model the precise impacts, we expect rain to fall on already saturated ground, especially in parts of Cumbria, Yorkshire, Devon and Cornwall.
"We know this will be an especially anxious time for many communities who suffered flooding last month and where the ground is still saturated.
"I want to assure them that we are taking all possible steps to prepare for the storm.
"The military are on standby, temporary defences and pumps are being deployed across the country and Enivornment Agency staff are checking and maintaining flood defences, clearing blockages in watercourses and monitoring water levels.
"Our priority continues to be protecting lives, protecting homes and protecting businesses."
