Extreme weather in Renfrewshire is causing major travel disruption as closures to the Erskine Bridge and problems at Glasgow Airport take their toll. 

Storm Ali hit the west of Scotland earlier today and has now caused "a great deal of disruption" to flights and drivers. 

Traffic Scotland tweeted earlier today to announce the bridge's closure. Glasgow Airport also confirmed that many flights face delays and cancellations. 

Gusts of more than 90mph have been recorded and a cruise ship has slipped its mooring as Storm Ali continues to cause major disruption across Scotland.

Rail, roads and ferry services have all been affected by the severe weather conditions on Wednesday.

The Met Office updated its amber weather warning of wind, saying there is a high likelihood of impacts across a swathe of the UK.

Power cuts and flying debris are possible as the first named storm of the season sweeps through the country.
