Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said: "Our dedicated Armed Forces personnel are working side by side with civil authorities to provide essential support to communities impacted by Storm Arwen.
He said the area of low pressure will get "very strong" as "very windy weather, definitely gale-force" lashes the country."This is an explosively-developing low. It will get very strong. And Jim Dale, a senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, warned the weather front could transform into the UK's second named storm in less than ten days.
Frost is expected in colder parts of the UK, including central and western Scotland where temperatures could drop to a freezing -3C and -5C.
