Laura Tobin explains the TWO big storms hitting the UK this weekend

Storm Austen is only the first part of Laura Tobin's weekend forecast. Her Good Morning Britain report follows its rain and strongest winds across England and Wales, then turns to the next system arriving Saturday night into Sunday.

The hour-by-hour explainer has drawn about 440,000 views in 20 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. Alongside it, a separate discussion of Britain's storm preparedness and a Short about government emergency guidance have also drawn unusually large audiences.

Tobin starts with the mechanics. The jet stream helps drive a rapidly deepening area of low pressure, a process she calls "explosive cyclogenesis," also known as a weather bomb. Her maps then separate out pressure, rainfall and gusts, showing heavy rain and wind moving toward Kent and the east coast.

The second storm, named Boelo in the program's description, brings a further spell of unsettled weather over the weekend. Tobin reviews amber wind and yellow rain warnings, with the combination of rain and strong winds making driving conditions a particular concern.

The report finishes with practical preparations rather than another weather map: check before traveling, keep up with the forecast and secure loose garden objects. Network Rail's especially specific reminder, passed on by Tobin, is to tie down trampolines.
