Further details
Rain will affect many parts of Scotland on Friday and Saturday, this heaviest and most persistent across western parts of the country highlighted by the warning area. Rainfall amounts across the two days are likely to be 30-50 mm in low lying areas, with 50-100 mm over higher ground. The wettest conditions are expected to be across the West Highlands where 100-150 mm is possible, perhaps in excess of this in a few isolated sites. This will come after rain (heavy at times) on preceding days, hence an increased risk of seeing some disruption or other impacts.
