Storm Christoph is set to bring heavy rain and flooding to Merseyside this week after being officially named by The Met Office.
The weather organisation already have a yellow weather warning in place for Liverpool from tomorrow until Thursday afternoon, but now the storm has been officially named.
The forecast for Liverpool sees persistent heavy rain from Tuesday morning until early afternoon on Thursday, with a warning that flooding is very likely.
Following Storm Christoph being officially named Met Office Chief Meteorologist Dan Suri, said: “Following a cold spell where the main hazard was snow, our focus now turns to notably heavy rain moving across the UK this week.
"Some locations could see over 100mm of rain falling through the course just a couple of days with up to 200mm possible over higher ground.
"These amounts of rainfall along with snow melt present a real threat of flooding and people should keep a close eye on flood warnings from the Environment Agency.
“As the system moves away into the North Sea Wednesday night and Thursday morning there will be strong winds along the east coast for a time.
"Meanwhile, colder air coming southwards into the weather system brings the risk of further snow on the back edge of this system.
"Temperatures will gradually fall across the UK through the end of the week and into the weekend bringing a return to widespread overnight frosts.”
Although Friday will be drier with more sunshine, the delayed response of some river systems means there is still a risk of flooding in some areas.

Into the weekend the feed of cold air from the north west is likely continue, with further wintry showers into the northwest.
The forecast for the North West specifically said: "Tomorrow will be a very wet day with persistent rain throughout the day for all. Rain will be very heavy in places leading to some localised flooding. Strengthening south-westerly winds.
"Dull and wet on Wednesday with prolonged and often heavy rain. Turning windier and colder on Wednesday night with a risk of rain giving way to snow over hills.
"Thursday will be cold with strong winds and wintry showers at first. Turning drier later on but with cloud persisting. Friday will be more settled with sunny spells."
