Screenshot of the Impact Matrix on the Met Office website. It shows the rating for Grampian being quite likely and quite high impact which therefore gives it an amber rating.

Fun fact before #stormeowyn at the bottom of the weather warning page on the Met Office website, thereโ€™s an impact matrix for that specific warning. A storm with low likelihood and high impact will feel very different to one with high likelihood and low impact yet both may get the same grading.
