The Met Office says there is a "good chance that some rural communities could be temporarily cut off".

People are also warned that travel delays are likely on roads, with the possibility of some vehicles and passengers becoming stranded.

Disruption to rail services is also possible, with the potential for power cuts and mobile phone coverage dropping out.
