SEPA issued a flood warning for the Braighe today (Wednesday, February 8) at 8.30 am.
The Braighe will likely be closed to traffic as gale force southerly winds, along with high tides and waves, means that the Braighe causeway could be impacted with wave overtopping, spray and debris.
The highest risk was on either side of high tide, due at 8.30 am.
