A flood alert is in place for Glasgow today as Storm Brendan is set to hit the country.
While Glasgow will avoid the worst of the deluge, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) have issued a flood alert for West Central Scotland.
The alert is to inform the public to be prepared for possible flooding.
Heavy rain and strong gales are set to hit Glasgow later this afternoon, with the Met Office predicting weather "becoming windy with strong to gale force southerly winds, severe gales along the west coast this afternoon. Maximum temperature 7 °C."
Coastal and exposed areas are at the greatest risk of flooding, particularly in Dumbarton, where high tide will occur at about 2pm today.
A statement from SEPA reads: "There is a risk of significant coastal flooding on Monday and Tuesday due to higher than usual tides and large waves. This will increase the risk of flooding to low lying land and roads and could affect exposed coastal properties.
"There could also be wave overtopping of coastal defences. The periods of greatest risk are around the high tide which occurs in Dumbarton at around 2pm on Monday and 2.30am on Tuesday.
"Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property."
