Unsettled weather conditions are set to continue across most of Tayside and Fife in the wake of Storm Barra.
The region was hit with gusts of up to 60mph, rain and snow on Tuesday amid two yellow warnings.
It caused damage to buildings and trees and there was disruption to the transport network.
And although Dundee, Angus, Perthshire and Fife will not experience the same wind speeds or heavy snow that Storm Barra brought, there could still be some wintry weather to contend with this week.

A white Christmas?
The big day is still more than a fortnight away, with many forecasters hedging their bets on whether the UK will see any snow.
The Met Office says: “Going into the Christmas period, temperatures are most likely to be close to normal for the time of year, although some colder spells remain possible.
