More wild weather on the way
Published 7 Dec 2011 09:30
The Met Office has issued its highest level of warning over severe winds expected to hit East Renfrewshire tomorrow (Thursday).
The red warning covers the Central region with gusts of up to 90mph in exposed places in the areas affected.
The Met Office said there were "some uncertainties" about the exact location of the most damaging winds and said the public should monitor its forecasts.
A red warning advises people to take action to prepare for the severe weather and they are only issued "a few times a year".
The warning stems from a very deep area of low pressure moving towards the country from 10am on Thursday to 6am on Friday.
A Met Office statement said: "Winds will increase during Thursday morning with severe gales developing across many northern and central parts of the UK.
"Some particularly damaging storm force winds are likely to affect parts of the north, including some major population centres in Scotland.
"The risk of disruption is considered highestaacross central and southern Scotland where the police are advising that conditions for travel will be extremely poor and that travellers are likely to experience significant delays."
