Britain faces torrential rain and strong winds this weekend as the tail-end of two hurricanes sweeping across the Atlantic could bring autumn's first named storm.
The Met Office has issued a 37-hour yellow rain warning for western Scotland from 5pm tomorrow until 6am on Friday amid concerns villages could become cut off.
Forecasters warned residents to expect 'pretty incredible rainfall totals' with up to 10 inches (250mm) set to accumulate on the highest ground over the period.
But the Met Office warned the alert could be extended to more of the UK as the remnants of Hurricane Humberto and Hurricane Imelda arrive this weekend.
Forecasters said there was currently a North West/South East split in conditions, before wet and windy weather impacts much of the UK from late on Thursday.
The first half of this week will see more frequent rain in the North West, with Northern Ireland, western Scotland and North West England all set to be affected.
Those in the South and East will see drier conditions for the next few days along with patchy clouds, sunny spells and temperatures into the high teens or even low 20Cs.
But wind and rain is likely to spread over much of the UK from Friday, although the influence of Humberto and Imelda has brought 'uncertainty' on the exact conditions.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Chris Bulmer said rain would be 'persistent' in western Scotland from Wednesday, with the heaviest downpours over hills. He also expects 'pulses of heavier rain will extend more widely at times' on Thursday.
Parts of Argyll, Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire are among the areas covered by the alert, which could be extended to become a wind warning.
Mr Bulmer continued: 'The situation becomes more complex later in the week as tropical cyclones Humberto and Imelda, currently over the southwest Atlantic, influence our weather, increasing the risk of a deep low developing near the UK.
'If this materialises, we could see some very strong winds as well as further heavy rainfall Friday into Saturday, but at this time the development and track of this system remains uncertain. We're monitoring this closely.'
The Met Office added that there was a 'possibility of further warnings being issued later this week as confidence increases'.
Marco Petagna, senior operational meteorologist at the Met Office, tweeted: 'Ten inches of rain not out of the question over the highest ground in western Scotland in the next few days... pretty incredible rainfall totals.'
From the middle of this week, as Humberto and Imelda move further out into the Atlantic, they could get caught in the jet stream and pushed towards the UK and north-west Europe.
Imelda, which is currently designated as a Tropical Storm, hit the northern Caribbean yesterday, with authorities in the Bahamas closing most schools and two people dying in Cuba as a result.
Imelda was located about 140 miles north of Great Abaco Island of the Bahamas with maximum sustained winds of 65mph. The US National Hurricane Center expects the system to become a hurricane this morning and spin out into the open ocean.
Meanwhile Hurricane Humberto, now a Category 3 storm having been at Category 5 on Saturday, churned in open waters nearby, which forecasters said would cause Imelda to abruptly turn away from the south-eastern US coast.
Humberto had maximum sustained winds of 115mph. It was located about 265 miles southwest of Bermuda, with a hurricane watch in effect for the island.
The UK's first named storm of the season will be Storm Amy, but none of the incoming weather systems have met the criteria to be named at this stage.
