The Met Office has issued an urgent 48-hour weather warning in Storm Babet hotspot just days after Britain was ravaged by heavy wind and rain.
The forecaster has predicted that between 12 noon on Thursday and 12 noon on Saturday, there is a high probability of persistent and occasionally heavy rainfall – which could lead to more flooding and travel chaos.
It has dished out two yellow alerts for the Scottish region of Grampian, as well as Central, Tayside and Fife.
Experts warned that further rain is expected across eastern Scotland between Thursday and Saturday.
A spokesperson said: “Accumulations over the three days will widely be around 20 to 30 mm with 50 to 70 mm likely to fall over higher ground where there is a lower probability of 80-100 mm in a few locations.”
They added: “Rain will be much less heavy than last week but falling on to already saturated ground may lead to some flooding in places.”
