Although it doesn't cover Greater Manchester, it covers parts of Cheshire and other areas in the North West. Forecasters predict that Storm Ciaran will cause 'disruption' to parts of the UK, with strong winds also forecast.
People have been warned to expect delays on the roads and on public transport. On Thursday, a number of amber weather warnings for wind have been issued in the South.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Suri said: "Wind and rain warnings associated with Storm Ciaran are in force from Wednesday night onwards into Friday. As well as strong winds, this deep low pressure system will bring heavy rain to many parts of the UK.
"Much of southern England and south Wales, as well as parts of north Wales, northeast England, southeast Scotland and perhaps the east of Northern Ireland look to see the wettest conditions between Wednesday evening and Friday morning."
