A weather warning for heavy rain with the possibility that it could lead to travel disruption and some flooding has been issued for Strathclyde - with Glasgow likely to be affected as a result.
The Yellow Warning, issued by the Met Office earlier this morning, is in place between 3am tomorrow morning (October 19) until 9am on Tuesday morning (October 20).
The warning notes: "Spells of rain, heavy at times, commencing Sunday night will persist through most of Monday before clearing on Tuesday morning. Typically 50-75 mm rain is expected over hills and mountains. Over a few mountains, most likely in Argyll, as much as 75-100 mm rain may fall".
As a result of the heavy rain, here's what the Met Office say we could expect:
- There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
- There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life
- Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services
- Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
- There is a small chance that some communities become cut off by flooded roads
- There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses
A wider Met Office forecast for Strathclyde tomorrow reads: "A cloudy and rather wet day, with persistent and sometimes heavy rain, especially across Argyll where some flooding is likely. Strengthening south or southwesterly winds. Maximum temperature 11 °C".
And from Tuesday to Thursday, the forecast for Strathclyde reads: "Becoming drier, brighter Tuesday morning, but heavy rain from mid-afternoon. Still cloudy with rain Wednesday morning but becoming drier in afternoon. Dry, with bright or sunny spells Thursday, but colder".
