Heavy rainfall and strong winds are set to batter the county as Suffolk braces for Storm Jocelyn - the second storm in three days.
The Met Office has officially named the next storm to hit the UK following the aftermath of Storm Isha, which caused devastation over Sunday night.
Storm Jocelyn is expected to bring winds of more than 50mph to Suffolk, with heavy rainfall expected in several areas around the county throughout the day on Tuesday.

Met Office chief meteorologist, Steve Willington, said: "Although this system (Storm Jocelyn) will be a step down relative to Storm Isha, with the damage and clean up still underway, we could potentially see more impacts from Storm Jocelyn.
"Outbreaks of heavy rain on Tuesday could bring rainfall accumulations of 15 to 20 mm quite widely."
The winds will ease throughout Wednesday.
Further delays and disruptions are expected to affect travel.
