It tweeted: "The centre of Storm Franklin is currently moving across Scotland.

"Spells of rain, hail, sleet and snow across the north of the UK. Heavy showers in the south. Very windy for all.

"Stay #WeatherAware."

Meteorologists are forecasting gusts of wind up to 32mph around 11am.

Conditions are set to improve in the afternoon, with sunny spells and milder temperatures.

However, heavy rain is expected for later tonight, and heavy wind is predicted once again for Tuesday, with gusts up to 42mph.
