Although this is mainly in England and Wales, there will be “some fairly brisk winds at times further north as well”, he added.
The coming week will bring “changeable” conditions with periods of wind and rain throughout.
Mr Morgan said: “The ground has started to become fairly wet over recent weeks and it will not take a huge amount more for there to be some surface water, potentially some flooding issues as we go towards the middle part of the week.”
People have been advised to secure loose items outside their properties and gardens.
They should also check for delays and road closures and take care along coastal regions, the Met Office said.
