Storm Dennis: Is West Brom vs Nottingham Forest at risk?

Nottingham Forest’s clash with West Bromwich Albion could be under threat as Storm Dennis passes over the United Kingdom.

The Reds are due to take on the Baggies at The Hawthorns in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday (12.30pm) in their next match in the Sky Bet Championship.

Last weekend saw Storm Ciara cause havoc across the country, leading to the Premier League clash between Manchester City and West Ham to be postponed.

The disruption is set to continue this weekend as Storm Dennis hits the UK.

Forest’s clash against Albion could possibly be disrupted by the storm, while matches taking place on Sunday and Monday are not expected to be heavily impacted by the weather.

"Storm Dennis will bring widespread winds and very wet conditions this weekend," said Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon.

“Storm Dennis is following a similar pattern to Storm Ciara with low pressure coming in from the North West, but we do not expect it to be as severe.

"However we will see inland gusts of 57mph quite widely and further very heavy rain on saturated ground there could be issues with flooding.

"Like Ciara, this storm is being pulled in by the jet stream which is amplifying and passing over Britain at around 250mph.”
