Businesses across the West are being warned for the possibility of flooding as gale-force winds and rain batter the region.
The Environment Agency has issued a series of warnings and alerts with firms operating in low-lying areas along the River Avon particularly vulnerable to being caught up in the storms and high tides.
The situation along the river is likely to be made worse by high spring tides coinciding with a surge caused by the storm. 
The highest risk of floods will be before and after peak tide levels, which will be this evening at 8:57pm and tomorrow at 9:17am and 9:42pm.
Official flood warnings were in place on the River Avon at Bradford on Avon this morning ahead of peak tide. The river burst its banks last night in the town, which was hit last week by high tides. A stretch of the river between Melksham and Bathford was also on flood alert with an Environment Agency warning.
In Bath city centre Pulteney Weir was under water.
