The Met Office has an amber "be prepared" warning in place for the southeast of England on Sunday morning, with Storm Angus expected to bring gusts of up to 80mph.
The Met Office said some areas could see up to 1.5 inches of rain over several hours, with possible surface water flooding.
The storm will hit the southwest of England on Saturday night before moving northeast.
Sky News weather presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said: "By Saturday evening the storm will bring spells of heavy rain, as well as strengthening southerly winds to southern Ireland and the southwest of England and Wales.
"Through Saturday night the vigorous area of low pressure is expected to move northeastwards, bringing heavy rain and strong winds across the majority of England and Wales.
"By the early hours of the morning London and the South East will be very wet and windy. Coastal areas of the South East could experience gusts up to 80mph, and inland areas of Kent and Sussex up to 55mph."
Conditions are expected to improve in the afternoon, but further wind and rain are expected to move north across England and Wales on Monday and could bring further flooding.
The name of the storm comes from a list chosen by the public for autumn and winter 2016-17.
It comes after warnings of freezing temperatures and snow on higher ground in the north of the country as a "polar air mass" brings in wintry weather from the Arctic Ocean.
Yellow "be aware" warnings for ice have been issued for the Midlands, the North of England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
