Motorists across Tayside and Fife are being warned to take care on the region’s roads on Sunday as forecasters predict heavy rain.
Transport Scotland has urged drivers they could face disruption on roads with heavy rain hitting north and eastern Scotland resulting in possible flooding.
Rain, heavy at times, will continue to move northwards across northeastern Scotland during the rest of the morning and afternoon before clearing this evening.
As much as 15 to 30mm are expected, with 40 to 50mm possible over higher ground.
Meanwhile, rain falling on already saturated ground could, as a result, lead to some flooding.
A warning issued by Traffic Scotland, read: “Motorists to expect spray and flooding leading to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
“Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services.
