The Met office have updated the warning for wind for next Week Wednesday into Thursday. 00:15 Wednesday morning till 6am Thursday. Yellow means be aware. Issued at: 1204 on Sun 7 Dec 2014 Valid from: 0015 on Wed 10 Dec 2014 Valid to: 0600 on Thu 11 Dec 2014 Severe gales may affect much of North Wales, Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Wednesday and at first on Thursday with a risk of storm force winds for parts of Western and Northern Scotland. In addition to winds, waves will be unusually high, bringing the risk of overtopping waves, particularly over western Scotland. The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel and perhaps also power supplies. Frequent wintry showers will also affect these regions bringing an additional hazard. Very strong winds are likely to affect northern and central parts of the UK on Wednesday and early Thursday as a deep low pressure system moves slowly eastwards between Scotland and Iceland. There is some uncertainty in the track and depth of this low and therefore in the exact wind strengths, however a period of severe gales over the highlighted area appears likely, as well as the potential for storm force winds over western parts of Scotland. Gusts of 60-70 mph can be expected across the warning area, with 70-80 mph in northwestern exposures. With frequent heavy, wintry showers, driving conditions are likely to be very difficult. Also, large waves could pose a risk of spray and overtopping to western and northern coastal areas of Scotland. This alert will be updated in the coming days.
