Heavy rain is set to batter large parts of Scotland tomorrow as the Met Office issue a weather warning.
Forecasters are predicting up to 70mm of rain to fall in the space of 18 hours.
A yellow weather warning has been put in place from 6am to 11.59pm on Saturday which is expected to bring disruption to transport.
Perth and Kinross, Stirling, the Highlands, Dumfries and Galloway , the Borders and Argyll and Bute will be the worst affected areas.
Forecasters believe a number of homes and businesses could flood as a result of the severe downpours .
Journey times may take longer than expected due to disruption to bus and train services.
A thaw in the snow on higher grounds will also contribute to the level of flooding in a number of places.
A Met Office statement read: "Outbreaks of rain will become persistent and occasionally heavy through Saturday across much of Western Scotland and parts of Southern Scotland.
"20-30mm will fall widely across the warning area in 15-18 hours with 50-70mm building up on some hills.
"This, in combination with a partial thaw of lying snow is likely to lead to some flooding in a few places.
"Rain will clear southeastwards through Saturday evening to be replaced by scattered showers .
"Strong to gale force southwesterly winds may also exacerbate tricky travel conditions."
