It is expected today around 9:00am and then again 9:00pm, with a 40% chance of precipitation.

Wind, “heavy wintry showers” and “risk of hail and thunder” are expected, and the temperature is not set to rise above 5 degrees.

The Met Office also put a [yellow warning](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings?ref=birminghameastside.co.uk#?date=2018-01-17&lat=52.4859&lon=-1.889) against strong winds between **Wednesday 17th at 9:00pm** and **Thursday 18th at 1:00pm**.

This will affect traffic, public transportation and may even create power cuts.

Services such as mobile phone coverage could also experience some disturbances.

The Met Office also has also issued a warning about risk of flying debris and damage to buildings, following the death of a woman in Wolverhampton last year during Storm Doris.
