According to the forecasters, "heavy rain may cause travel disruption, and flooding in a few places." They add that "spray and flooding on roads will probably making journey times longer by car and bus, with rail services possibly also affected by flooding."
In addition, "flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible" with individuals being urged to take care.
In the update the Met Office explained their reasoning for the warning saying: "A period of heavy rain is likely later this afternoon and evening, perhaps with thunder close to the east coast. 10 to 15 mm may fall within an hour in a few spots, while more widespread totals of 20 to 30 mm seem likely over 3 to 6 hours. Some hillier parts, perhaps especially across Lothian and Borders, could perhaps see around 50 mm, this falling onto wet ground, increasing the possibility of a few flooding problems."
