When Storm Franklin will end and what we can expect from Scotland's weather this week

Scotland's weather has faced a hammering by Storms Dudley, Eunice, and Franklin back-to-back over just five days.

Weather warnings for a barrage of severe rain, snow, wind and ice have besieged Scots and you may be left wondering what could possibly be next.

Today's extreme weather is courtesy of Storm Franklin, for which the Met Office and SEPA have issued wind and flood alerts in Scotland.

Storm Franklin will bring strong gusts to 75mph, but the Met Office weather warning will end at 1pm today.

More Scots have been left without power and facing flooding after Storm Franklin landed on Sunday as the after effects of Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice reverberate across the UK.

The UK will be breathing a sigh of relief after Storm Franklin dies down today, but the jet stream responsible for the three isn't done yet.

The Met Office's Storm Franklin wind warning ends at 1pm today for southwest Scotland and parts of the west coast.

The fierce gusts will begin fading away during Monday afternoon in Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales.

In just five days, three named storms have hit the UK starting with Storm Dudley on Wednesday, Storm Eunice on Friday, and Storm Franklin yesterday.

What is the weather forecast after Storm Franklin?

Monday

Fortunately, the weather on Monday afternoon will be largely dry with sunny spells, according to the Met Office.

BBC Scotland Weather tweeted: "The jet stream which has been responsible for directing stormy weather to the UK over the last week will still be around 190mph above our heads this week bringing more unsettled and often windy weather."

Indeed, the forecast on Monday night will take a rainy turn with outbreaks of rain and drizzle as bands of heavy rain could lash the northwest.

Tuesday

A cold front with heavy rain will move in on Tuesday, but by afternoon the showers will clear, giving way to sunshine and scattered showers. That said, wintry and windy weather is anticipated in the north.

Network Rail is monitoring the situation closely.

The company tweeted: "Heavy rain and some possible snow is forecast over the coming week, particularly in Western areas of Scotland, with Wednesday the main day of concern at the moment. It's possible we could see rainfall totals of 30-70mm over several days."

"Please keep an eye on services updates from your local operator."

Wednesday to Friday

The Met Office says: "Wednesday mainly dry south and east; elsewhere, heavy rain followed by wintry showers.

"Thursday cold with blustery sleet/snow showers, sunny spells between. Friday fine with some sunshine and lighter winds."
