Wild seas are forecast for the Hebrides with waves up to nine metres high expected off the islands’ western coasts on Monday.
A force eight gale is set bring winds over 60 mph for South Uist and Barra on Monday afternoon.
The strongest winds may start to peak close to the lunchtime high tide with the potential for waves and sea spray to crash over exposed causeways and coastal roads.
Forecast high tide times for Castlebay is around 12.30pm and some 70 minutes later in Stornoway though the timings will be affected by strong southerly winds pushing the flow.
Sea heights are expected to rise higher than normal due to a surge effect and low atmospheric pressure.
Ferry cancellations and delays are on the cards for Monday, the second day in a row due to the worsening conditions.
