Edinburgh weather: Amber and yellow weather warnings in place for capital and the Lothians
The Met Office said that amber and yellow warnings, in place until 3pm today, are in force for Thursday morning, meaning that conditions on the roads will be treacherous for some, with surface water flooding and intense rainfall.
They went on to add that an amber weather warning could lead to "fast flowing or deep floodwater" with a "danger to life". It could also lead to power cuts and communities being cut off by flooded roads.
