Storm Dudley brought down trees like this one in Holgate Road - now Storm Eunice could blow down many more if forecasters are correct
YORK is set to see gusts of wind in excess of 70mph later this afternoon, according to an updated forecast by BBC Weather in association with MeteoGroup.

They say wind gusts will rise to 57mph by 2pm, 60mph by 3pm and 71mph by 4pm. Gusts will then drop slightly to 69mph by 5pm and 66mph by 6pm.
