A YELLOW weather warning is in place for parts of Scotland in anticipation of heavy rain.
Stretching along the east coast and central belt from Edinburgh to Glasgow, the warning is expected to be in place until at least 4pm on Saturday.
It comes as the Junior Road Race is set to get underway at the UCI Cycling World Championships in Glasgow.
Road users are being warned that the rain could cause difficult driving conditions and even instances of flooding in some areas.
Travellers are also being told to be aware that bus and train timetables could be impacted by the weather.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
