The Met Office has issued a warning for parts of North Yorkshire as newly named Storm Boelo approaches.
It is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain this weekend (October 24 and 25).
This weather system is predicted to bring widespread gusts of 55-65mph and up to 70-80mph in more exposed coastal locations.
The UK weather agency issued a yellow warning for wind, which covers the far north of England, and is in place from 6pm on Saturday until 9pm on Sunday.
The weather service has also updated warnings for Storm Austen , which is expected to affect the south of England and Wales from Thursday night into Friday.
Heavy rain is expected to move in from the west on Saturday, spreading across the UK throughout the day.
The Met Office has warned that the strong winds and rain will make for an "impactful weekend of weather."

It said the possible impacts include flying debris, damage to buildings, power cuts and disruption to road, rail, air and ferry services.
All of Yorkshire is forecast to become wet and windy on Saturday, although the current wind warning covers only the far north of the county.
Deputy Chief Forecaster Chris Bulmer said: "Storm Boelo will bring strong winds and heavy rain to Northern Ireland, Scotland and parts of northern England over the weekend, impacting the opposite end of the country to Storm Austen.
"Severe weather warnings and forecast detail will continue to develop, so people should keep up to date with the forecast over the next few days."
