After a weekend of blustery weather, Scots will have to brace themselves for wetter conditions in light of a new weather warning for heavy rain.
Met Office forecasters have warned that eastern parts of the country will experience up to 60mm of rainfall from noon on Tuesday, November 15, which will move northward before easing at 9pm that evening.
Drivers have been warned to take extra caution behind the wheel as potential flooding is 'likely' to cause travel disruption.
The Met Office said: "A band of rain will move east across Scotland Tuesday becoming persistent across the southern Highlands during the afternoon.
"20 to 40 mm of rain is likely to fall widely here with as much as 50 to 60mm over higher ground of Aberdeenshire, Angus and Perth and Kinross."
Central and eastern Scotland will see bouts of thick fog on Monday, November 14 before lifting into low clouds through the day. The west is set for bands of rain but these will clear into sunny spells by the afternoon.
