The Met Office is predicting winds could hit a high of 70mph in exposed coastal areas.
The UK weather forecaster currently has yellow and amber weather warnings in place until January 24.
Storm Jocelyn is the tenth named storm to hit the UK since the season began in September.
Met Eireann named the latest incoming storm.
Storms are given a name when they post a risk to people and are named beginning with consecutive letters of the alphabet.
The record number of named storms in one year is when the Met Office began the practice in 2015/16, with Storm Katie being the eleventh and final storm of that season.
If there are two more named storms between next week and August, this year will mark a new record.
It comes after the tragic news an 84-year-old man died after a Hyundai crashed into a fallen tree on the A905 in Fife, eastern Scotland at 11.45pm last night.
The elderly man was the front-seat passenger in the car, whose other occupants were not injured.
Emergency services pronounced the man dead at the scene near Grangemouth, and are now appealing for dashcam footage.
British Airways said that it cancelled 40 flights across the UK as winds peaked at 99mph.
Planes struggled to land at several airports, with one Ryanair flight from Manchester to Dublin diverted to Beauvais in northern France.
