Serious flooding causes huge disruptions to travel across Aberdeenshire
Take care out there this morning folks as you travel to work - for the few that might be able to get there!
We’re receiving reports of a large number of roads that are flooded and impassable, or only driveable with extreme caution.
Police advised motorists to drive with care in the area.
The Met Office warning says that heavy rain will continue through Thursday morning, leading to further accumulations of 0.6in (15mm) for north-east Scotland with a few places perhaps seeing a further 1.2in-1.6in (30mm-40mm).
Follow Police Scotland on Twitter @PolScotRoadsNE for information about road closures in the North-East.
