Another spell of unsettled weather is expected on Friday with further wet and windy conditions likely across Scotland. The public should be aware of the risk of localised watercourse or surface water flooding.
A developing Atlantic low pressure system is expected to move northeastwards just to the west of Scotland on Friday. This will push further bands of locally heavy rain across the area with more than 20 mm quite widely. Given existing levels of saturation, this is likely to lead to some flooding.

Another spell of unsettled weather is expected on Friday with further wet and windy conditions likely across western areas in particular. Tides will be very high, and the public should be aware of the risks of large waves and coastal flooding.
This is an update to the Alert issued on Wednesday to increase coastal gust values.
A developing Atlantic low pressure system is expected to move northeastwards just to the west of Scotland on Friday. This will push further bands of locally heavy rain across the UK and winds will gust to around 60-70 mph over coasts and hills, locally 80 mph along some exposed Irish Sea coasts. Inland, gusts up to 50 mph are likely. Lowering pressure will combine with high tides around the UK coastline and bring the risk of some flooding.
