Storm Éowyn is forecast to bring more wind and rain throughout the day and we'll update you if it has a major impact anywhere.
But here's a round-up of what's happened so far this morning:
The BBC Weather Watchers have been venturing out into the wind and rain this morning and have been sharing photos of the weather where they live.
These pictures were taken near Rhydycroesau in Shropshire and Leek Wootton in Warwickshire.

It urged people to continue to call and promised its officers would get to as many as possible, but warned there could be a wait.

Birmingham Airport is operating as usual this morning with a few cancellations to certain destinations. So far, this includes Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Paris. There is also a warning on their website about weather in Northern Ireland and Scotland. People planning on travelling to those destinations should check with their flight operators.

The list of storm names is announced on 1 September each year and runs in alphabetical order, starting this season with Ashley, followed by Bert, then Conall, and later on possibly reaching as far as Izzy, Rafi and Tilly.
Storms are named by the UK Met Office, Ireland's Met Éireann or the Netherlands' KNMI when they are forecast to cause "medium" or "high" impacts.
We have a few rail services being disrupted this morning.
Transport for Wales said all lines were closed between Shrewsbury and Swansea and there would be some disruption on services between Shrewsbury and Chester, all because of the weather.
National Rail said damage to the electric overhead wires between Walsall and Birmingham New Street was causing disruption and trains may be cancelled or delayed.
Embankment damage between Polesworth and Atherstone will mean trains from Crewe travelling south towards London Euston will not call at Atherstone.
And trains between Birmingham and Liverpool Lime Streetwill operate between Birmingham and Crewe only.
During Storm Darragh we heard from dozens of people who said they had been refused payouts by insurers after high winds damaged their chimneys and brought down roof tiles.
In one case, a doctor said his new car had been badly damaged when ridge tiles were blown off his house.
Another man, Dennis Iliffe from Kidderminster, told us his insurers had refused to pay his claim because the wind was 2mph too slow. In the end they agreed to pay after we carried Dennis's story.
If your property is damaged in the storm, the first advice is not to go and do anything which might put you or your household at risk.
That means being careful around things like exposed cables and only returning when it is safe to do so.
You are also advised to contact your insurance company as soon as possible and if necessary, arrange temporary emergency repairs to stop any damage getting worse.
Tell your insurer and keep receipts, as this will form part of your claim.
It's also worth keeping hold of damaged items unless they are dangerous, in case they can be repaired through your insurance.
Looking further ahead, it can take weeks or even months for a property to fully dry out after storm damage, so you may need to wait some time before redecorating.

It looks like most of the major power outages affecting more than 2,000 homes have been fixed now.
However, National Grid is still reporting 207 homes without electricity in Kidderminster and 327 in Ledbury.
There are smaller numbers scattered elsewhere around the West Midlands and you can check them out on this interactive map, external.
The storm, currently centred on the north-east of Northern Ireland, is expected to move north through the day.
The Met Office yellow wind warning for most of the country is due to end by midnight, with only Scotland affected tomorrow.
However, two other yellow weather warnings are in place for Sunday for parts of the West Midlands.
Gusts of wind up to 60mph are expected in the west of the region, including Herefordshire and western Shropshire.
A rain warning is also in force for the whole of the region from 08:00 GMT on Sunday until 06:00 on Monday, with flooding possible.
Currently, just the one flood alert is in place, for the Tern and Perry catchments in Shropshire.

Image source, Staffordshire County CouncilThe forecast wind speeds in the West Midlands today are not expected to be as high as they were during Storm Darragh, when hundreds of trees were brought down.
Worcestershire tree surgeon George Morrish said following the last storm (pictured above) he was working "flat out" for two weeks, clearing up the damage, starting each day as soon as it got light and finishing as it got dark.
But he said: "I can't see it being quite as bad as last time because the storm was so strong last time that I would imagine most damaged or weakened trees would have gone over in that storm."
"The stronger ones should be fine."
The Met Office says naming storms "helps to make communication of severe weather easier and provides clarity" and this will be the 10th year it has done it.
Names are selected from a shortlist of favourites submitted by the public but also includes three heritage names from the Met Office’s 170-year history.
The storms always follow an alphabetical pattern and so far this season we have had Storms Ashley, Bert, Conall and Darragh.
After Éowyn, the next storm will be named Floris.
If you were planning a day out today, you might want to check before you leave, because a number of attractions are closing as a precaution.
The National Trust says the Shugborough Estate in Staffordshire is shut for the safety of visitors this morning, volunteers and staff, but may open later after checks have been carried out.
Similarly, the National Trust says the outside areas of Attingham Park in Shropshire will open later while checks take place.
Trentham estate says the shopping village and tearooms will remain open, but you won't be able to go for a walk around the woods or lake today.
And Biddulph Grange Garden has also decided to close today because of the high winds.
The winds forecast for the West Midlands are not as powerful as those expected to hit Scotland, Northern Ireland and the West Country, but there are still things you can do to protect yourself.
The BBC has put together this handy list for you, including things such as securing loose objects, making sure your mobile phone is fully charged and bringing your animals inside.
We're seeing a number of homes losing their power supply this morning.
National Grid is reporting 1,244 homes cut off in Kidderminster, 561 in Rugby and another 679 at Barlaston in Staffordshire.
There are also 116 homes without power in Worcester and 230 at Eardiston in Worcestershire.
The last big storm to hit the West Midlands, Storm Darragh, brought down hundreds of trees and a car driver died in Erdington when one hit his car.
Elsewhere, a Poundland shop window shattered in Kings Heath, disrupting traffic, while in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, a giant cedar tree dating back to Victorian times was brought down.

Storm Darragh saw winds of up to 60mph (97kmh).
The worst effects of Storm Éowyn are likely to be felt in the north of England and Scotland, but that might affect your travel plans.
London Northwestern is advising its passengers there will be no trains between Crewe and Liverpool today and no rail replacement service either.
Services between Birmingham and Crewe are running however.
A number of Transport for Wales services have also been cancelled.
Winds approaching 50mph (80kmph) and heavy rain are forecast for parts of the West Midlands today, with the heavy rain expected to continue through the weekend.
It's coming to the region with Storm Éowyn, which is set to hit Scotland and Northern Ireland especially hard.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning, external in the West Midlands and said there could be flooding in some places and the heavy rain might affect road and rail travel.
We'll be bringing you live updates this morning as we get more information.
