Dundee and Tayside are in for yet another battering as Storm Henry heads for the region.
Winds of up to 80mph are predicted just days after Storm Gertrude brought hurricane force winds to the region.
Gusts of 96mph forced the Tay Road Bridge to close for most of the morning on Friday. Winds caused extensive damage around Dundee with trees being brought down and roof and parts of buildings being blown blown off.
Should winds reach 80mph again, the Tay Road Bridge would have to all vehicles for safety reasons.
This storm, Henry, is moving across the Atlantic bringing with it an area of low pressure. As a result of this, a Met Office amber ‘be prepared’ warning has been issued with high winds forecast. The warning is in place from 3pm today until 9am tomorrow.
It advises people to expect disruption to power supplies, structural damage to buildings and commuters are being warned that transport links could be disrupted once again.
The Met Office said: “A deep area of low pressure will push quickly eastwards close to the north of Scotland later on Monday and into Tuesday.
“Some very strong west to south-westerly winds are expected to develop , affecting much of Scotland. Gusts of 70-80 mph are expected widely, whilst gusts of 90mph are possible in the most exposed areas, especially across the Western Isles and along the west coast.
“Be prepared for some potentially severe weather, causing transport disruption and difficult driving, some structural damage, dangerous coastal conditions and disruption to power supplies.”
Scotland’s Transport Minister Derek Mackay said: “Our Multi-Agency Response Team, based at the National Traffic Scotland Control Centre, which has been in operation throughout the weekend will remain in place to monitor events and respond as required.
“Our fleet of patrol vehicles and gritters are treating roads where needed around the clock to help keep roads open to traffic, but quickly changing conditions means journeys could be disrupted.”
