Heavy rain and thunderstorms are set to batter Ayrshire for the remainder of the weekend, forecasters have warned.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for rain from midday this afternoon until midnight this evening.
Weather boffins that up to 50mm of rain could fall in parts of Scotland later today.
It's understood that heavy showers or longer spells of rain with some thunderstorms are likely to cause some travel disruption and flooding, the forecaster has said.
The warning from the Met Office reads: "Early showers, some heavy, over Northern Ireland will give way to some more persistent rain, again heavy and perhaps thundery at times, later this morning and afternoon.
"This rain then moves eastwards into Scotland later this afternoon, conditions here having also been showery during the morning.
"Showers or rain again may also be accompanied by thunder in a few places, perhaps more likely this afternoon.
"Over Northern Ireland 10-20 mm of rain is likely to fall in some places. Over Scotland, rain is likely to be heavier with 20-30 mm likely for some parts and as much as 30-50 mm rain in a few spots."
