France, Britain, Ireland and the Benelux countries are threatened by a major storm closing in from the Atlantic and which threatens severe damage, reports AccuWeather.com.
The active weather in western Europe will continue Sunday night through Monday with a storm bringing damaging wind gusts and rain.
A potent storm system will aim for southern England and Wales Sunday night and through the morning on Monday before shifting to the Netherlands and Belgium for most of Monday.
A less powerful wind event will precede the Sunday night storm, moving wind gusts to 40 mph through Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England during the day on Sunday, especially near the coastline.
Winds with this storm Monday are expected to hit the northern coast of France, southern England, much of Belgium and into Netherlands with gusts of over 90 kph (50 mph) and even some of the stronger gusts to hurricane-force winds.
Paris, France and London, England look to be inland enough to avoid much of the problem with these winds. However, even there winds could gust to 70 kph (40 mph), and along with the heavy rainfall, there could be trees and power lines downed.
Amsterdam, Netherlands and Antwerp, Belgium, are looking to see some of the strongest winds with this storm, as sustained winds on Monday look to be near 80 kph (50 mph) on its own with gusts to near 110 kph (70 mph). This could not only cause power outages and tree damage, there could be structural damage and any large profile vehicles could be overturned.
This storm threat will begin to come to an end in the afternoon for much of England and western France while much of Belgium and Netherlands will have to wait until after Monday night for these winds to diminish.
