Weather forecast ahead of Storm Ashley

Power cuts, travel disruption and possible damage to buildings are expected on Sunday as Storm Ashley sweeps across Scotland, bringing high winds and rain.

The Met Office has issued an amber high wind warning for some western areas on Sunday, with gusts of 70-80 mph (113-129km/h) expected.

A yellow alert for high winds gusting up to 60 mph (97km/h) covers the whole of the country, and for northern areas will last over the rush hour on Monday.

Meteorologists say Storm Ashley, the first named storm of the season, will see a rapid drop of pressure as it moves in from the Atlantic on Saturday night - a phenomenon called a "weather bomb".

BBC Scotland's Gillian Smart has the weather forecast.
