@curranjc @metoffice Hi James, I’m tagging @metofficeScot for you to see if anyone’s able to get in touch about this. For info, MO Public Weather Service (UK Gov funded) issues National Severe Weather Warnings used by all platforms, but Meteo is the current commercial weather provider for BBC
Localised flooding from rivers and surface water is expected on Thursday and Friday due to heavy rain and snow melt.
Eight regional Flood Alerts are currently in place across South West, North East and Central Scotland.
Rivers will rise across the day and remain high overnight through Friday. Local Flood Warnings will be issued as required.
