The Amber warning is in place for the north-west of Scotland from 9am on Sunday right through until midnight.\n
It says: \u201cStorm Ashley will bring a spell of very strong winds, probably causing some disruption on Sunday.\u201d\n
The strongest winds are expected in this Amber area with parts of western Scotland set to experience \u2018gusts of 70-80 mph at times on Sunday afternoon, before winds ease through the evening and overnight\u2019.\n
\u201cThe winds coincide with high spring tides and large waves which may lead to a greater risk of disruption along coasts,\u201d the Met Office explains.\n
It also warns that \u2018injuries and danger to life\u2019 are likely due to \u2018large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and properties\u2019.\n
Plus, there is a \u2018good chance\u2019 of power cuts in the area and \u2018probably\u2019 damage to buildings.\n
Those in the areas are advised to prepare for roads and bridges to close as journey times are set to be longer and services likely to be cancelled.\n

The Yellow warning is in place for all of Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as parts of north-west England and Wales, set from 3am until midnight.\n
\u201cStorm Ashley will bring a windy period across the whole of the UK on Sunday and into Monday, and there is an increased chance of disruption across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, northwest England and northwest Wales,\u201d the Met Office says.\n
As the winds develop, there are gusts of 50-60 mph possible in some inland areas and perhaps up to 60-70 mph along exposed coasts and hills.\n
This Yellow warning also comes with the same \u2018danger to life\u2019 in coastal areas and the same warning of power cuts, damage to buildings and impact on travel.\n
