FURTHER flooding misery could hit parts of the Highland later this week – after the Met Office issued a 66-hour long yellow warning.
The warning, which comes into force at 6am on Thursday and will remain in place until the end of the day on Saturday, covers parts of Badenoch and Strathspey – including Aviemore and Kingussie, where severe flooding was experienced earlier this month.
The alert area also extends east across much of Aberdeenshire and all of Angus and south as far as Perth and Stirling.
However, the Met Office has warned that there is "still significant uncertainty" over the timing and specific locations that could be worst affected - and people outwith those areas are also being urged to keep an eye on forecasts as the week progresses.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Whilst there is still significant uncertainty in the timing and duration of rain through the second half of the coming week, there is potential for disruptive, heavy and prolonged rainfall to affect central and eastern Scotland.
"The heaviest rainfall is more likely to occur over Angus and southeast Grampian, although even lower lying areas could see unusually heavy rainfall during this period. Strong southeasterly winds are likely to accompany heavy rainfall which may exacerbate impacts."
