Hide AdGusts of 60-70 mph are be expected within the warning area, with 70-80 mph in western and northwestern areas.
The strongest winds will slowly ease on Thursday morning.
The process behind the storm, rapid cyclogenesis, known colloquially as a “weather bomb”, is a deep low pressure system moving slowly eastwards between Scotland and Iceland.
