From BBC Website - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4257384.stm
Motorists and homeowners in the Western Isles are being warned to take care amid concern over possible flooding in the area on Sunday night.
Police said strong winds and high tides could see surface water affecting roads and property.
A Met Office spokesman said: "The rain will be heavy for a while although it will push past fairly quickly.
"However it might be that the strong winds together with high tides could have an effect."
The front will pass through into the rest of Scotland, leaving weather in many areas unsettled for the rest of the week, he said.
Five members of one family were killed as storms swept the Western Isles in January.
They drowned as they as they escaped their flood-hit coastal home on South Uist.
