A WEATHER warning for rain which covers Inverclyde has been extended by the Met Office.
Forecasters have warned that the ongoing spell of heavy rainfall could now last until 3am tomorrow morning.
The prediction comes after the Met Office issued a yellow alert for rain earlier this week, which was set to start at noon on Wednesday and last until 6pm tonight.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "Persistent rain will become more fragmented in nature during Thursday, but at the same time, some heavy, slow-moving bursts may develop across parts of southern and central Scotland.
"A further 10-20 mm, and in some places 30-40 mm is probable, across areas which have already seen between 20 mm and very locally 60 mm during this event."
