Storm Doris has blown off course and is now forecast to miss Chester and Ellesmere Port.

The Met Office had put a severe weather warning in place with the potential for 70mph winds for most of Friday (February 3).

But it has now been cancelled.

The storm has been caused by 'a number of potentially vigorous low pressure systems' moving towards Europe.

The chief forecaster admitted it could still pass the UK by completely.

It might yet be wet and windy for us later this week, but conditions will be less severe.
