A statement said: “Rain will become heavier across parts of Scotland overnight from Monday to Tuesday before clearing into the North Sea on Tuesday afternoon or evening.
“The rain could be heavy and persistent in places, with some areas seeing 20-40 mm of rain, and a chance that one or two spots could see 50-60 mm; these higher totals now appear more likely in the south of the warning area, roughly south of a line from Glasgow to Edinburgh.
“Given saturated ground in many locations, such rainfall totals can cause more impacts than would typically be the case.
“Flash flooding or deep water is possible, with one or two communities temporarily cut off by flooded roads.
