INVERCLYDE is braced for two days of bad weather after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning.
The forecaster has issued an alert for heavy rain which covers much of Scotland and includes Inverclyde.
The warning will be in place from noon today until 6pm tomorrow.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "An area of heavy rain is expected to move northwest across Scotland from Wednesday afternoon, with rain most persistent across northern and eastern facing high ground.
"For many areas, rain should gradually become more showery in nature during Thursday, but at the same time, some heavy, slow-moving downpours may develop across parts of southern and eastern Scotland.
"20-40 mm may accumulate quite widely through this period, but in excess of 60 mm is quite possible over some northern and eastern facing high ground.
"Locally strong and gusty winds through Wednesday evening and early on Thursday may exacerbate any impacts from the rain."
