Gusts of up to 80mph could hit western Scotland this Friday, with 60 to 70mph widely across the rest of Scotland, North West England, North West Wales and Northern Ireland.
A "very powerful" jet stream with winds up to 250 mph is expected to bring potentially disruptive weather to Britain beginning Friday.
This system could result in a named storm, heavy rain, snow, strong winds, damage to buildings, and travel disruption. The jet stream, fueled by a clash of tropical and arctic air, is expected to undergo explosive cyclogenesis, or weather bomb, in the Atlantic.
