The Met-Office has issued yellow warnings for winds across Ayrshire on Saturday and Sunday with the potential for the deep area of low pressure to be named Storm Eowyn.
Both Yellow warnings say wind speeds could hit 70MPH across parts of Ayrshire with dangerous coastal conditions expected, the Met-Office has warned that Christmas travel plans could be affected.
The warnings issued are below:
Yellow warning for Wind - Valid 07:00 Saturday until 23:59 Saturday
A period of strong winds on Saturday is likely to lead to some transport disruption.
Strong westerly winds are expected to develop through the course of Saturday, with gusts of 50-60 mph developing quite widely across this region, and a small chance of gusts reaching 70 mph around some coasts and high ground areas.
This has the potential to cause delays to public transport and some disruption to the road network, which may have a greater than-usual impact given the busier pre-Christmas weekend travel. Dangerous coastal conditions can be expected too, with large waves an additional hazard.
Yellow Warning for Wind - Valid 00:00 Sunday until 21:00
A prolonged period of strong winds will likely lead to some disruption over the weekend, especially to travel.
Strong and gusty northwesterly winds are expected to develop on Sunday. Gusts of 50-60 mph are expected quite widely, and around some exposed coasts and hills of gusts 70 mph are possible, especially in the north and west. In addition, squally showers are likely with some hail and thunder possible in places.
This has the potential to cause delays to public transport and some disruption to the road network, which may have a greater than-usual impact given the busier pre-Christmas weekend travel. Dangerous coastal conditions can be expected too, with large waves an additional hazard.
