Power cuts, travel disruptions and possible damage to buildings are expected on Sunday as Storm Ashley rages across Scotland, bringing strong winds and rain.

The Met Office issued an amber high wind warning for some western areas on Sunday, with gusts of 70 to 80mph expected.

A yellow warning for high winds of up to 60 mph (97 km/h) applies across the country, and for northern areas this will last through rush hour on Monday.

Meteorologists say Storm Ashley, the first named storm of the season, will experience a rapid drop in pressure on Saturday evening as it moves in from the Atlantic Ocean – a phenomenon called a ‘weather bomb’.

BBC Scotland’s Gillian Smart has the weather forecast.
