"Within the amber warning area, gusts in excess of 95mph are possible from Friday evening and into Saturday morning as Stormy Amy brings a risk of power cuts and damage to buildings and trees. Gusts around 60-70 mph are expected more widely in the Amber warning area, in what will be an impactful autumn storm for many in Scotland. Rainfall is an additional hazard, in particular over western Scotland, where totals could exceed 30-50mm in 6-9 hours, increasing the risk of flooding for some."
"Storm Amy is set to bring heavy rain and strong winds to parts of Scotland and we expect to see disruption to the transport network in the warning areas. The rain and wind will bring difficult driving conditions, such as reduced visibility and surface water, and are also likely to affect the ferry and rail networks, so it's important to plan your journey ahead of time."
Storm Amy is developing in the Atlantic and will bring disruptive wet and windy weather to much of Scotland, northwest England and northwest Wales from Friday afternoon into Saturday. An Amber warning for wind covers northern and western Scotland from 1700 Friday until 0900 Saturday and highlights danger to life, possible power cuts, travel disruption and particularly dangerous coastal conditions. Gusts in excess of 95mph are possible in the warning area, with widespread gusts around 60–70mph and rainfall totals of 30–50mm in 6–9 hours over western Scotland, increasing flooding risk. Transport disruption to roads, ferries and rail is likely and travellers should check routes and operators before travel.
