The wind weather warning mentions the risk of east coast flooding in England.
"Westerly gales are expected to spread southwards across northern and some central areas of the UK on Thursday, with gusts of 60 to 70 mph likely across parts of northern and eastern England, North Wales and Northern Ireland. Parts of Scotland could see gusts reach 80 mph, and perhaps 90 mph in the far north of Scotland for a time.
Winds will veer northwesterly and begin to ease in most places during the afternoon, with the strongest winds becoming confined to eastern coastal areas by the evening.
The public should be aware of the potential for significant disruption, particularly to transport through the central belt of Scotland during Thursday morning.
There is potential for coastal flooding along the East Coast of England, and some overtopping of causeways across the Western and Northern Isles of Scotland.
This updates the alert originally issued on Monday. Further updates will follow on Wednesday."
