Bands of heavy rain will affect southwest Scotland during Sunday. Some of this will fall as snow initially over higher ground before turning back to rain at all altitudes as milder air works in through the day. 

30-50 mm of rain could fall quite widely across the warning area, but there is potential for 70-90 mm to build up over the higher ground of Dumfries and Galloway. Melting of lying snow may contribute to flooding in some places too.
