Police have warned drivers to be prepared for travel disruption ahead of Storm Dudley arriving in Scotland tomorrow.
The majority of Scotland is expected to be battered by gale force winds from tomorrow afternoon, with a yellow weather warning in place from around 3pm.
A danger to life amber warning has also been issued across the central belt and southern Scotland as forecasters anticipate gusts to pick up to 90mph in the most exposed coastal areas.
The Met Office has said that the adverse weather in these parts could result in fallen trees, damage to buildings and even injuries.
Police Scotland has urged drivers to think carefully over whether or not their journey is essential before setting off tomorrow.
A notice on the Traffic Scotland website reads: “Winter driving is a question of common sense and all drivers should ask themselves if they really need to travel when conditions are poor.
“No one should ever place themselves at risk on the road and it may be worth making alternative arrangement such as delaying travel until the conditions improve.
“If you are travelling on the roads, you should ensure you and your vehicle are adequately prepare for the conditions, making sure you have sufficient fuel supplies such as warm clothing, food and water in the event you are delayed for several hours. Charge your mobile phone and plan your route as well as alternative routes.
“If you are driving a vehicle which may be vulnerable to being blown over in such conditions along exposed routes including bridges, please exercise additional caution and plan your route to avoid exposed areas or consider cancelling your journey until conditions improve.”
A further storm is expected to hit Scotland on Friday, according to the Met Office.
