Scotland is bracing for gloomy weather as the the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for "strong" winds and heavy rain.
While most of the country will see sunny spells and scattered showers on Thursday, an area of heavy rain will spread from the west on Friday morning from 8am.
Waters are predicted to reach accumulations of 20-30 mm in a few hours, starting from the northwest before gradually moving southwards, then settling at 2pm. The fast rains may result in light flooding in some parts of the country, so drivers should ensure to take precautions when on the road.
