Heavy rain is set to batter eastern Scotland with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning.
Around 30 to 50mm of rain may fall in six hours leading to some localised flooding, throughout this afternoon and evening.
The Met Office has said Scots should prepare for some travel disruption on Friday, with bus and train services affected as well as flooding on roads.
Flooding to a few homes and businesses in the central, Tayside and Fife area as well as Aberdeen and Moray is also likely.
The yellow weather warning is in place from 12noon until midnight on Friday.
A spokesperson said: "Rain will affect eastern Scotland this afternoon and evening. Some of this rain will be heavy and 10 to 20 mm is likely quite widely whilst in a few places as much as 30 to 50 mm may fall in six to nine hours.
"This rain is likely to start to ease later this evening before finally clearing overnight or on Saturday morning."
