TWO storms will batter Britain just days apart this week - sparking danger to life warnings as 90mph gales sweep the country.

       Storm Dudley is expected to lash Britain on Wednesday and Thursday, with fears the gale-force winds will rip roofs off homes and cut power before Storm Eunice descends on Friday.

       Two weather warnings are in place for Wednesday as Storm Dudley hits

       There are currently five weather warnings and two named storms in place for this week - covering Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the whole of England.

       On Wednesday, the dangerously strong winds of Storm Dudley will strike - the fourth named storm of the winter.

       The intense weather warning was upgraded to an amber alert on Monday morning following fears that the weather front may be a "danger to life."

       And Storm Eunice will follow on Friday - battering Brits with snow blizzards and intense gusts.

       The Met Office said: "Storm Dudley is expected to affect the UK on Wednesday night and Thursday, bringing a period of very strong and disruptive winds.

       "Very strong westerly winds are expected to develop across western Scotland and northern Northern Ireland late Wednesday and extend eastward across southern Scotland and northern England during the evening.

       "There is still some uncertainty in the timing and location of the strongest winds but there is the potential for inland wind gusts of 70-80 mph in places.

       "Gusts of 80-90 mph are possible around exposed coasts and hills."

       Brits have been warned that road, rail, air and ferry services will be affected in the turbulent gales - with some roads and bridges potentially closing.

       And there's a chance of injuries and danger to life from flying debris as the country battles the blistering 90mph westerly winds.

       Storm Dudley will be most frightening in Strathclyde, Yorkshire, North West and East England, and parts of South West Scotland.

       After Dudley's wrath, Britain's fifth storm of the season will come into play - as a yellow weather warning is set to bring gale-force winds on Friday.

       BLIZZARDS AND GALE-FORCE WINDS

       Covering the entirety of Wales, England, Northern Ireland, and southern Scotland, Storm Eunice will hit in the early hours of Friday and will continue until 9pm.

       Eunice is also classed as a "danger to life" weather warning - bringing 80mph winds, snow, and blizzard conditions.

       The warning states: "Storm Eunice is likely to affect the UK on Friday bringing a period of very strong winds that could cause significant disruption.

       "There is a small chance that flying debris will result in a danger to life, with fallen trees, damage to buildings and homes, roofs blown off and power lines brought down.

       "There is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties."

       The Met Office added: "In addition to the wind, there is the potential for a period of snow and perhaps blizzard conditions, most likely over northern England, parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and north Wales.

       "However, this is very dependant on the track of the weather system and most places will see heavy rain instead."

       The double storm in three days comes after Storm Malik and Storm Corrie brought strong gale-force winds that caused widespread disruption across the country this year.

       Along with the intense wind, stormy weather and downpours are expected to stir in the UK until Sunday.

       But the gales aren't the only severe weather Brits will have to face this week - with snowfall on the cards from Wednesday onwards.

       Parts of Scotland are being braced for snow - which could last nearly EIGHT days.

       DOUBLE STORM

       According to WXCharts, the white stuff is set to begin falling on Wednesday and will continue on into next week in northern parts of the UK.

       According to the Met's long-range forecast, the UK is set for an unsettled patch of weather.

       The forecast says: "Looking to become increasingly unsettled through the start of this period, feeling cold with sunny spells and wintry showers to the north, while central and southern areas are expected to be cloudier with some rain, potentially heavy.

       "Perhaps some disruptive winds accompanied by rain and short lived snow by the end of the week.

       "Remaining changeable into the following week, in addition to possible spells of rain, some wintry, to the north, there is potential for heavy rainfall to the west and northwest.

       "Strong winds likely to continue with a risk of gales across these areas, with severe gales along coastal regions.

       "Temperatures generally around average, perhaps coldest to the north where some short lived cold spells could bring some brief periods of snow."
