Storm Isha 'tornado' warning issued for Scotland as gales rip through UK

Scots have been braced for some extremely windy and wet weather as this weekend comes to a close thanks to Storm Isha.
The majority of the country has been placed under a rare 'danger to life' amber warning for wind from 6pm on Sunday January 21, lasting until 6am on Monday January 22. Some of the potential dangers we could see during the storm include flooding, power cuts, damage to buildings, loss of mobile service, large waves and falling trees.

On its website, it says: "Across the Tornado Watch area, a potent mid-level trough and speed max (500 hPa mid-level jet max of ~120 knots) will overspread the frontal zone, and induce a powerful low-level jet in advance of the front (850 hPa flow of ~90 knots).
"This will produce exceptional low-level shear values across the area, especially across the RoI and N Ireland, e.g. 0-1km SREH values of over 700 J/Kg, and 0-3km values of around 1000 J/Kg. There will also be some modest instability, which the strong shear should augment, allowing the chance of rotating structures, including shallow
