More weather warnings have been issued in Hampshire as Storm Eowyn bears down on the UK.
The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for rain and wind for Sunday and Monday, when the Storm is expected to have passed through.
The rain warning covers all of Hampshire and is in force from 8am on Sunday until 6am on Monday.
Meanwhile, the wind warning covers areas south of Romsey and Eastleigh, including Southampton, Fareham and the New Forest, and will be in force from 8am until 3pm on Sunday.
Forecasters warn a period of strong winds and heavy rain is expected to move into the south west on Sunday morning, spreading eastwards throughout the day.
"Winds are likely to gust 50 to 60 mph quite widely, and around some exposed coasts and hills gusts to 70 mph are possible," a spokesperson said.
"Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely. It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves."
Meanwhile, power cuts are possible and there is a small chance homes and businesses could be flooded.
It comes with a yellow weather warning for wind already in effect for Hampshire.
The Met Office is warning of gusty wind between 7am and 5pm on Thursday, with a second warning for Storm Eowyn in force all day on Friday.
