Storm Goretti is set to bring gusts of up to 50mph to Suffolk, which could cause restrictions on the Orwell Bridge.
A yellow weather warning is in place for parts of the county from 6pm on Thursday until 9pm on Friday.
The Met Office has warned of "heavy and persistent" rain, with the entire county expected to be wet around 6pm as the clouds continue to spread north-east.
Wind gusts are predicted to reach up to 50mph in coastal areas, while further inland, in areas such as Ipswich, gusts will reach around 45mph.

National Highways has confirmed the Orwell Bridge will remain open with no speed restrictions in place.
Sometimes, during bad weather and high winds, a 40mph speed restriction is put in place on the A14 bridge for safety.
In previous years, the Orwell Bridge would close during spells of strong winds and storms, but this would often cause disruption and traffic chaos in Ipswich.
A spokesman for National Highways said conditions will continue to be monitored during Storm Goretti.
