Britain faces torrential rain and strong winds this weekend as the tail-end of two hurricanes sweeping across the Atlantic could bring autumn's first named storm.
The Met Office has issued a 37-hour yellow rain warning for western Scotland from 5pm tomorrow until 6am on Friday amid concerns villages could become cut off.
Forecasters warned residents to expect 'pretty incredible rainfall totals' with up to 10 inches (250mm) set to accumulate on the highest ground over the period.
But the Met Office warned the alert could be extended to more of the UK as the remnants of Hurricane Humberto and Hurricane Imelda arrive this weekend.
Forecasters said there was currently a North West/South East split in conditions, before wet and windy weather impacts much of the UK from late on Thursday.
