Whilst some uncertainty remains in the exact track and shape of Storm Dave, a spell of strong southwesterly winds is expected to quickly develop during the early hours of Sunday morning. Gusts 60-70 mph are expected fairly widely with a small chance of gusts of 75-85 mph across Orkney briefly. Large waves may lead to some dangerous conditions around windward coasts.
