Hurricane Katia off the east coast of the US could cause stormy weather to hit Scotland on Monday, according to forecasters in Miami.
John Cangialosi, at the US National Hurricane Center, told the Reuters news agency that Katia was expected to head out into open sea.
He said it would change from a tropical storm to a "classic wintertime storm" by the time it reached Scotland.
The Met Office has not issued a severe weather warning at this stage.
