The former hurricane is nearing from the west, bringing high clouds over the region, according to CNN Weather's Monica Garrett. Angelika Smith snapped spectacular photos of the sunrise in Churchover near Rugby, Warwickshire. Mark Bentley, who is an amateur photographer, caught the chilly sunrise on camera near Burford in West Oxfordshire.

"A tropical depression is expected to form by Thursday from a broad area of low pressure moving slowly westward over the northern Gulf of Mexico," the National Hurricane Center said. If that happens, we'll see the first tropical depression of the 2019 season. But what if the tropical depression doesn't happen? "Even if the system doesn't fully develop, very heavy rains are forecast along the Gulf Coast region, with up to 10 to 15 inches of rain possible along the future path of the storm," Hennen said.
