A yellow wind warning comes into force for most of England and all of Wales at 8pm tonight - with people told to expect travel disruption and power outages.
The Met Office, which issued the warning, has said gusts of up to 55mph are expected widely inland, while 70mph winds are possible along exposed coasts and hills.
The warning will be in place from 8pm on Sunday until 6pm on Monday and covers almost the whole of England - with only the northernmost parts not affected by the warning.
Manchester, Leeds, Hull and York are all in the warning area along with the whole of Wales.
There are no warnings in place for Northern Ireland or Scotland.
Sky News weather producer Joanna Robinson said: "The strong winds will bring the risk of travel disruption, especially on Monday morning, with local power cuts possible.
"The strong winds will ease later on Monday as the low-pressure system moves away."
The Met Office has advised people to prepare for disruption by checking road conditions if driving and changing their travel plans if necessary.
People are also advised to gather torches, batteries, a mobile phone power bank and other essential items in case of power cuts.

Robinson says the spell of strong winds and heavy rain on Sunday has been started by an area of low pressure moving in.
The wind is forecast to pick up from the southwest on Sunday evening, bringing the risk of gales through Sunday night and into Monday.
Further north, lighter winds are expected, but the Northern Isles may see gales for a time.
Heavy rain spread northeastwards on Sunday, with showers across the whole of the UK.
