A tornado alert has been issued for England and Wales as Storm Henk swoops in. The Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO) has said there is a high risk of serious damage from the weather front.
The warning covers Wales, the Midlands, parts of northern England and cities such as Coventry and Birmingham. Southeast and southwest England and the Channel Islands also fall under the warning.
In a statement, TORRO said: “The tornado risk, although low, may take on a bi-modal distribution – with one area of slightly higher risk being in the discussion area across the RoI on Saturday morning, and the second being across parts of Cent S England, SE England, the SE Midlands, and E Anglia on Saturday night.
“This latter area will be monitored on Saturday for a possible tornado watch.”
