A yellow weather warning for rain across the county has been extended until 3am tomorrow.
The Met Office warning, which was set to expire at 6pm this evening, has been extended as bad weather continues to impact the east of Scotland.
The warning reads: “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 10-20mm, and in some places 30-40mm is probable, across areas which have already seen between 20mm and very locally 60mm during this event.”
East Lothian Council has already put up flood barriers along the River Esk in response to heavy rain.
Further details can be found on the Met Office website.
