Another blast of severe rainfall and huge gales - officially named Storm Corrie - is set to sweep across the UK this week.
Storm Corrie will bring strong winds eastwards from Scotland and into England from tomorrow - running concurrently with Storm Malik, which begins its menace today.
But the new storm will remain into the week, and it's feared Scotland will bear the brunt of its impact.
Met Office said: "Inland gusts could reach 60-70mph, the highest winds are expected over the northern half of Scotland, north of the Central Belt.
"A yellow severe weather warning for wind is in force."
Chief meteorologist Dan Suri said: “Storm Corrie will bring very strong winds to the north of the UK, especially northern Scotland, on Sunday. This follows just one day after Storm Malik moves though also bringing a spell of very strong winds.
“Storm Corrie will bring gusts of up to 90mph in exposed coastal locations in northern Scotland, with 70-80mph gusts more widely in the north. With back-to-back storms there could be updates to severe weather warnings, so keep an eye on the Met Office forecast.”
Storm Malik, meanwhile, will bring 80mph gales across parts of the UK today.
Met Office says road, rail, air and ferry services are likely to be affected, leading to longer journey times and some cancellations. Some roads and bridges likely to close too.
There is also a good chance power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage, forecasters say.
Today's amber warning covers central Scotland, Tayside & Fife, Grampian, southwest Scotland and the Lothian Borders. North East England is also covered, including Newcastle and Northumberland.
A yellow weather warning is in place for all of Scotland, much of Northern Ireland and parts of northern England today for wind too.
Met Office added: "An area of strong winds will cross Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and some northern counties of England on Saturday morning before easing during the afternoon. Gusts of widely 50-60 mph are expected and there is a chance of a brief period of gusts in excess of 70 mph in places, particularly for parts of eastern Scotland later in the morning."
