A potent storm across the northern Atlantic is the culprit behind high winds blasting the United Kingdom. Windy and stormy weather will persist into Tuesday, causing treacherous travel.

The highest winds have been targeting the northwestern coast of Scotland as well as the higher elevations. A 120-mph gust (193 kph) and sustained winds of 77 mph (123 kph) were recorded on top of Cairngorm Summit at an elevation of around 4,085 feet early Monday morning, according to Mark Vogan.
