Disruption is expected across Tayside, Fife, and Stirling after weather warnings were issued for snow and wind.
Storm Eowyn is due to arrive at the end of the week.
The Met Office has issued a yellow alert for snow on Friday, from 3am until noon.
Snow is expected to cause disruption before turning into rain later in the day.
A more severe amber weather alert for gusty winds is also in place for much of Friday.
This covers Dundee, Perth, Stirling and parts of Angus, Perthshire and Stirlingshire.
Travel ‘likely to be affected’ by weather warning
The Met Office warning says: “Snow for a time on Friday morning may cause some disruption, before easing and/or turning to rain.
“Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.”
Between 2-5cm of snow may accumulate in places above 100m and 5-10cm may gather above 300m.
‘Widespread disruption’ expected in Dundee, Perth and Stirling
The amber warning for wind is in place from Friday at 6am until 9pm.
The Met Office warning says: “Storm Éowyn is expected to bring very strong winds and widespread disruption on Friday.
“Power cuts are likely to occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.”
It adds: “Road, rail, air and ferry services are likely to be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible.
“Some roads and bridges will close.
“There is a chance that damage to buildings and homes could occur, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down.
