Gale warning for Western Isles      23/2/14

Winds up to force nine are forecasted to affect the Western Isles on Sunday.

The southerly gale is due to whip up seas and risk disrupting ferry services.

The Met Office said strong winds would continue into Monday with a risk of storm-force winds for a time on some western coasts.

Winds up to 50 mph may be experienced in the southern Minch.

Cal Mac says ferries to Stornoway, South Uist and Barra are likely to be disrupted.  

Southerly gale force 8 imminent, increasing severe gale force 9 later
