BRITAIN has been issued flood warnings with Storm Deirdre forecast to batter the country TODAY.
The Environment Agency issued three upgraded warnings for north west England and south west Scotland.
The entire Scottish coastline from Ayr to Troon in Ayrshire is said to be vulnerable from flooding around 12.45pm today.
This is due to the combination of high tide and waves whipped up by the severe gales.
Other warnings have been placed around Outer Wigtown Bay for 11.15am and East Luce Bay at 11.45am.
This covers the area where the bodies of James and Susan Kenneavy were found washed up last week.

The weather system has forced the Met Office to issue a yellow warning for wind from 5am until midnight on Friday.
According to the warning, a “deep depression” will move eastwards across northern Scotland today bringing “widespread gales”.
The warning read: “Inland gusts of 50-60 mph are likely quite widely, with gusts of 70-80 mph in exposed locations across northwest Scotland.
“Heavy rainfall may be an additional hazard across parts of northern and western Scotland.”
Travellers have been told to prepare for longer than usual journeys as the weather is likely to cause delays to road, rail, air and ferry services.
They have also been warned about the possibility of flying debris, damage to buildings and large waves.

From early next week, temperatures are set to plummet towards freezing point as the cold air flow moves in from the chilly north east.
Forecasts show that still conditions and light winds will lead to icy frosts developing over the weekend — especially in the Midlands, south and east.
But more changeable weather will hit the North West — where showers could turn wintry on the back of the bitterly cold air moving in from the east.
While thick snow is not likely apart from hills and mountains, disruptive sleet could pummel lower parts.

A Met Office spokesperson warned: “Showers may affect the north and east on Sunday, whilst in the south and west there may be some more persistent rain for a time.
“During the rest of this period some prolonged drier, settled but cold spells are likely, with lighter winds, especially early next week.
“Any wet and windy weather is more likely to be confined to the north and west.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
