Winds of up to 80 mph are expected to bring flying debris and travel disruption to parts of the UK.
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for Wednesday in the north of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland ahead of Storm Ali's arrival.
Debris flying in the wind could endanger life, journeys are likely to be disrupted an there could be power cuts, it said.
Milder yellow wind warnings were issued across Wales for Wednesday.
Storm Ali is the UK's first named storm of the season, with storm Helene which hit Wales on Tuesday having taken its name from a US hurricane.
The amber warnings are in place from 08:00 BST to 17:00 and mean damage to buildings, disruption to road, rail, air and ferry services and possible power cuts should be expected.
Areas affected by the yellow warnings, in place between 06:00 and 22:00, are likely to experience lower speed winds of up to 60 mph but could face similar levels of danger and damage.
