The British Isles are bracing for the storm Barbara which is expected to arrive later tonight with gale force winds and rain. It is now expected to be the strongest in Scotland on Friday with gale force winds up to 80mph. The strong winds are expected to affect Christmas travel for lots of travelers. It is fairly common with powerful winter storms coming in over the Atlantic this time of the year.
