SOMERSET is currently in the grips of the UK's third storm in less than a week.

There is a yellow wind warning in place for the county.

Storm Franklin is expected to blow itself out this morning (Monday, February 21).

And we've got a generally dry, bright afternoon to look forward to, with temperatures reaching around 11degs C.

But we can expected some pretty windy weather for the rest of the week.

Storm Franklin follows the devastation caused in Somerset by Storm Eunice at the end of last week, with Storm Delta hitting other areas of the country.
