Urgent warning for drivers on 3 major motorways as Met Office issues fresh alert – just a day before Storm Eowyn hits

DRIVERS who plan to use three major motorways have been issued a fresh alert ahead of Storm Eowyn.

The Met Office has issued amber warnings for ‘danger to life’ as 90mph gales look set to for the UK in the coming days.

Friday could see “very strong winds” which might spell potential disruption to road, rail, airports and ferry services – as well as power cuts.

London, Oxford, Peterborough, and Norwich just managed to avoid a weather warning, but the rest of the UK has been told to prepare for turbulent conditions from midnight on Friday.

From Plymouth to Inverness, transport services could be impacted with extended delays and long cancellations expected.

Furthermore, on Wesnesday, January 22, a yellow alert for fog came into force at midnight that covers major roads including the M6, M65 and M61 – with forecasters warning fog patches “may cause some travel disruption”.

Holidaymaking drivers are also being warned to expect delays to flights, including those to and from Manchester Airport.

The recent fog warning covers all of Lancashire and surrounding areas including Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside as well as elsewhere in the UK.

The warning states: “Fog patches are expected to develop overnight and during Wednesday morning before gradually clearing through Wednesday.

“Fog will bring visibility to below 100m at times, perhaps causing some travel disruption.”

It added: “Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, leaving extra journey time, or amending plans if necessary.

“Make sure you know how to switch on your fog lights, and check they are working before setting off on your journey.

“Bus and train services, as well as flights and ferry travel may also be affected; check for updates from your travel company and follow their advice.”

This is even before Storm Eowyn, the fifth named storm of the year, hits, as Met Office spokesperson Andrea Bishop said: “Storm Eowyn will bring a period of very unsettled, potentially disruptive, weather to the UK through Friday and into Saturday.

“Pronounced ‘Ay-oh-win’, the system will begin to influence the UK’s weather on Friday, with strengthening winds initially in north-western parts of the UK with accompanying heavy rainfall.”

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Mike Silverstone added: “The strongest gusts are likely to be felt across parts of Northern Ireland, northern England, north-western Wales and western Scotland, where exposed sites could get gusts in excess of 80mph, which has the potential to cause impacts for those in these areas.

“There will also be some heavy rain, bringing some unpleasant conditions to end the week.”

Darts star leaks World Championship payslip as he reveals long list of ‘deductions’ left him with just £5,200 winnings

 A DARTS ace has shared his World Championship payslip – to show earnings are not as “Pally” as you might imagine.

World No 39 Matthew Edgar is a three-time contestant at the Ally Pally.

Matthew Edgar has opened up on his Ally Pally pay

But the 38-year-old has revealed how he once scooped £6,800 for a first-round defeat, only to cough up around £1.6k in “deductions”.

It comes as PDC chiefs announced prize money for the showpiece event will DOUBLE in 2026.

That means Luke Littler would pick up £1million if he retains his title – compared to the £500k he won three months ago.

Edgar posted a video on TikTok explaining what happened cash-wise when he competed in the ultimate oche occasion.

“Prime Time” – as the Daventry ace is known – suffered an opening-round exit twice but reached the second stage in 2021.

He made £30k in all from that trio of Ally Pally appearances.

That was in the form of two £7.5k sums plus one £15k prize – something of a juicy jackpot for Edgar.

But after displaying his remittance notice from the PDC on social media, he told how that princely figure was far from the final story.

Edgar said: “That doesn’t mean what you get paid as a player.

“There are deductions which need to come off this. All PDC players are self-employed contractors, not employees of the PDC and so we get remittance notices. 

“We get deductions, two per cent is your PDC levy – that comes off everything before you even get it and comes from playing on the Challenge tour to being world champion.

“We all pay two per cent on our prize money before we even get it.

“Not only that, you’ve got to consider your membership fees – £500 is your membership which goes before you even get it. That’s a once a year fee and your DRA fee as well.”

If all that detail is giving you an Ed-ache, he went on to explain how there was still more to come – or rather to go – in his financial tale.

Edgar added: “£6,800 is what came into my bank account from the first round defeat. 

“From that, I’ve got to deduct my travel, my hotel and any other costs with that. Then, the money that is left is open to tax.”

Nonetheless, he still finished with about £5.2k – not bad for a brief adventure in one of sport’s most festive and fan-packed events.
