These could cause some localised surface water flooding issues, particularly if the heaviest rain falls in urban areas and on impermeable surfaces, such as the road and rail network. Areas prone to land slip may also be impacted. Ponding and standing water may occur in low lying areas. Flooding from small watercourses and rapidly responding rivers may also occur. Due to the showery nature of the rainfall, it is difficult to predict which areas are most at risk, however, the overall risk is expected to decline during the early hours of Thursday morning. Members of the public are advised to check the Traffic Scotland website before traveling. SEPA will monitor the situation closely and provide further information when available.</p> <p></em> </p>
