Storm Franklin is battering Scotland today as flood and wind warnings are in place during the country's wild weather outburst in just days.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for high-speed winds until 1pm alongside a total of 15 flood warnings in place across the country.
The 16 alerts are in force despite the fact that Scotland will escape the worst of the storm.
Southwest Scotland and parts of the west coast have been warned to prepare for very strong winds.
Three 'flood alerts' and 12 of the more severe 'flood warnings' by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) cover areas in central Scotland, the Scottish Borders, Tayside, Argyle, Ayrshire and Bute.
It's been an extreme weather period as Storm Franklin follows in the wake of Storm Eunice and Storm Dudley with a thrashing of rain, wind, snow and ice.
Read on for all the details of the weather warning and 15 flood warnings.
