Forecasters say Sunday will be mostly “bright and dry” as thousands are expected to turn out to witness the Queen’s coffin cortege passing through Tayside and Fife.
The Met Office has predicted temperatures of up to 18°C.
The weather on Sunday is expected to be “bright and dry” throughout the morning, according to the Met Office, with sunny spells.
It will cloud over later in the afternoon with some heavy rain arriving later in the day – though this should be after the cortege has passed.
The procession leaves Balmoral at 10am and is expected to make its way through Dundee at around 2pm.
Saturday night will remain “dry and chilly” with some light winds and a maximum temperature of 9 degrees.
It is understood organisations including Dundee City Council have asked for volunteers to help with crowds on the route, while Fife Council has issued a notice that several footbridges, overbridges and underpasses along the M90 will be closed while the cortege passes.
There will be opportunities for members of the public to view the Queen’s cortege making its way through Courier country at various points.
The procession will travel from Balmoral – where the Queen died on Thursday – down the A90, through Dundee, on to the M90 and over the Forth Road Bridge towards Edinburgh.
Queen Elizabeth II’s body will be taken to her official residence in Scotland, the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
A procession and service will then take place in Edinburgh over following days before the Queen is flown to London where she will lie in state before her funeral.
During his proclamation ceremony, King Charles III approved a bank holiday for the Queen’s state funeral – which takes place on September 19 – meaning all schools, most businesses and many shops will close.
