The West Coast is in for a wet and windy spell as the Met Office extends a yellow warning for heavy rain starting this evening.
The weather operator is forecasting heavy rain to hit parts of the West Coast.
Yesterday the warning was issued for 3am until 9pm on Monday, August 5.
However, a revised forecast means heavy rain is coming sooner, beginning at 6pm on Sunday and ending at 9pm on Monday.
Areas affected include much of the western Highlands, including towns such as Fort William, Oban, Mallaig and parts of southern Skye and the Isle of Mull.

The Met Office is warning heavy rain could lead to travel disruption, including on some rural Highland roads.
Roads such as the A82, A83 and A85 are within the yellow warning area, so motorists are urged to drive cautiously.
There is also a chance of disruption to public transport including on the West Highland Line.
Two to four centimetres of rainfall is expected across much of the wider area, while on higher ground in Lochaber, it could be up to five to seven centimetres.
Strong and gusty southerly winds will accompany the rain with the possibility of the odd rumble of thunder.
