A weather warning for "persistent heavy rain" has been issued for Stirling this week with a threat of localised flooding in areas.
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning which is in place between 12pm tomorrow and 12pm on Wednesday.
Forecasters say that persistent heavy rain on saturated ground will bringing further flooding.
The warning has been issued for Central, Tayside and Fife - including Stirling and Perth and Kinross.
A forecaster has said that residents can expect: homes and businesses to be flooded, with damage to some buildings; fast flowing or deep floodwater, causing danger to life; a chance that some communities may be cut off by flooded roads; delays and some cancellations to train and bus services; and spray and flooding will probably lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.
A Met Office forecaster said: "A spell of persistent and often heavy rain will affect much of Scotland during Tuesday and Wednesday. Rainfall accumulations of 40 to 60mm are expected quite widely across the warning area with a few places possibly seeing 80-120mm in a 24 to 36 hour period, although there still remains some uncertainty in peak totals.
"Drier conditions will arrive from the west during the second half of Wednesday. Strong southerly winds are likely to accompany the rain."
