Default Amber be prepared warning for wind Central Scotland
Just bumping this from my Weather Centre as it will be a news event tomorrow




A vigorous depression is expected to run rapidly east passing northern Scotland on Thursday night and Friday morning. Winds will begin to increase late on Thursday to give a period of very strong westerly winds through the Forth-Clyde valley, with gusts 60-70 mph quite widely, and isolated gusts to 80 mph. Winds should quickly ease from the west during the morning.

The public should be prepared for the potential for disruption to transport, and are advised to check latest forecasts before travelling. Power supplies may also be affected and there is the possibility of structural damage.

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...&regionName=ta


It will shut all bridges and may shut the airports so travel will be affected

I hope they shut the schools as they did with Hurricane Bawbag and the Forth Road Bridge is shut; that way none of us have to go to school or work and we can all be safe at home!

There is even a slight tornado risk but it will be nocturnal and hard to spot as the straight line speeds will be so strong!

Christ! Roll on summer! I'd honestly rather have 2 feet of snow than high winds and rain!

It's calmed down a lot now Ammi, but it's expected to return later on today.. I have to say I was actually scared last night! None of us had any sleep so I've kept the kids off school and we're going to have a pyjama day

I've been ill that's why it's took me so long to post in here but our power went out twice last night, the wind was terrifying and I actually thought the windows were going to smash.

More warnings are out for later plus I think there's snow to come too over the weekend.

Quite right Lee at least you would have been ready to bolt out the door.

It was really scary though and I'm wondering what later will bring with the winds getting back up again.

Hopefully it won't be quite as bad.. I think it's going to be pretty wild again though!
