The Highlands and Islands are expected to be hit hardest by the storm, with large waves and winds of up to 90mph on Saturday.
To be classified as a hurricane, winds must reach 74mph, however, forecasters have today issued a yellow warning, saying that there is a risk of 80-90mph gusts.
While the Highlands and Islands may bear the brunt of the storm, the Met Office have also issued a yellow warning for Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray, with forecasters predicting winds of up to 70mph in the north east on Saturday and Sunday.
