High winds are expected to strike northern Britain today as stormy conditions continue from the so-called "weather bomb".
Yellow "be prepared" alerts are in place for Scotland's western coast, the Highlands and Islands, Orkney, Shetland and Northern Ireland.
Alerts also remain in place for England's East, South East, North East, North West, northern Wales and other areas.
Forecasters predict the strong winds and wild weather will ease in the late morning.
But southerly areas of the UK could be hit by stormy conditions rolling in from the Atlantic tonight.
A deep low pressure system known colloquially as a "weather bomb" caused extreme weather conditions for parts of Britain on Wednesday.
Waves of 52ft were recorded in coastal regions and thousands of homes left without power.
As well as disruption to energy supplies, the severe storm caused ferry and train cancellations and school closures in the North.
Wind speeds of 144mph were recorded on St Kilda, an uninhabited archipelago 41 miles west of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides.
According to the Met Office, the highest recorded wind speed at low level sites was 81mph on Tiree.
Off the coast of Orkney, a rescue operation was launched to help a British-registered fishing vessel which issued a Mayday call after getting into difficulties.
The 33ft trawler, with 16 Spanish crew, had one of its bridge windows smashed and some equipment damaged in the stormy conditions.
The O'Genita was escorted to Westray in Orkney by the Stromness lifeboat.
Twenty vehicles also had to be freed after becoming stuck in icy conditions on Cairn O' Mount, a high mountain pass, in Aberdeenshire.
