Those areas are likely to experience gusts of up to 60 mph but could face similar levels of danger and damage.
BBC Weather said the storm could have a greater impact because of the time of year.
It said most trees were still in full leaf and were "acting like sails", making it more likely they could be pulled over and cause travel problems.
