THE Met Office has issued a new yellow warning with strong winds expected to batter Scotland on Wednesday.
It means the whole of the country will now be covered by a yellow warning at some stage.
The first warning, which covers much of the north of the country, has been updated and will now come into force at 5am on Wednesday morning and last until 7pm.
Another warning, covering major cities including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth, will be in place from 9am on Wednesday until 5pm the same day.
The north of Scotland has been told there is a “slight chance” of power cuts and a “small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties”.
“Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Check for loose items outside your home and plan how you could secure them.

“Items including the bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, sheds and fences,” the warning said.
In both instances, people have been told that both bus and train services could be affected and that some journeys could take longer.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
