Further details
A deep area of low pressure is expected to pass to the north of Scotland later on Tuesday, clearing away to the east during Wednesday. Whilst at this stage there is still some uncertainty regarding the onset of strongest winds and to what extent more populated areas of the Central Belt are also affected, this will bring a swathe of very strong winds to parts of Scotland. Gusts of 60 mph can be expected fairly widely, but there is potential for gusts as high as 80 mph, this most likely over the north of mainland Scotland, Lewis and Orkney.
