A number of road and park closures have been announced ahead of Storm Eunice's arrival on Merseyside tomorrow.
Marine Drive in Southport is one major closure as Sefton Council has announced a number of closures coming to the borough.
The closure will be between Weld Road and Fairway junctions as a precaution due to high tides and the possibility of the road flooding.

It will be shut between 10am and 3pm on Friday, February 18 after the Met Office announced that incredibly strong winds will attack the Merseyside coast.
A number of parks will also close to prevent people from being injured from any falling trees or branches.
Botanic Gardens, Hesketh Park, Moorside Park, Derby Park and Victoria Park will be closed on Friday and a safety assessment will be carried out at each park before reopening.
The council has also decided to shut Hall Road car park in Blundellsands on Friday.
Sefton Council has also urged people to not make any non-essential trips in a bid to keep people safe during the storm.
A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “The UK is going to be seriously affected by Storm Eunice this weekend and Sefton is no exception.
“These pre-emptive closures are designed to keep our communities safe from any harm this storm may cause and we continue to monitor the situation as it develops.
“This means other roads may need to be closed at short notice. We strongly advise people stay away from coastal areas, especially our beaches and unsheltered areas.
“Please only travel if absolutely essential. The stormy weather could cause significant issues to road and rail transport and there is a strong possibility that a number of trees may be brought down by high winds.
“There is also potential for widespread power outages and damage to weakened/loose structures like roof tiles, fences and chimney stacks.”
