Storm Babet now looks set to impact more Highland communities later this week after weather warning areas were extended by the Met Office. And a separate warning elsewhere in Scotland for even heavier rain has been upgraded to an amber alert. A yellow warning for heavy rain will come into force in the Highlands at 6am on Thursday and remain in place until 6am on Saturday. The revised warning areas. A separate rain warning, which originally extended westward from the east coast as far as Aviemore, has now been revised and no longer quite reaches Badenoch and Strathspey.
