Further unsettled weather is forecast, with another storm expected to reach Scotland and parts of northern England on Saturday. The warnings cover wind and rain, although the supplied information does not specify their exact duration or the areas included beyond those affected by the incoming storm.
The disruption follows the arrival of Storm Austen, which has already affected electricity supplies and travel. The scale of the power cuts and the precise impact on transport have not been detailed.
People in areas covered by the warnings face the possibility of continuing disruption as more wind and rain move across the country. Scotland and parts of northern England are expected to be among the areas affected by the second storm on Saturday.
The latest situation is that yellow warnings remain in place, with further poor weather and possible travel and power-supply impacts expected as the next storm arrives.
