THE Met Office has issued a weather warning for parts of the west of Scotland.
The weather service issued a yellow warning for rain, saying Scots can expect travel disruption on Monday and Tuesday.
The warning came into force at 9pm on Monday, February 3 and ends at 1pm on Tuesday, February 4.
The warnings cover Stirling, Dumfries and Galloway, and Strathclyde.
The Met Office said: "Persistent rain, heavy at times, during Monday night will continue into Tuesday morning.
"Accumulations of 30mm are expected widely across the warning area with 40 to 60mm falling over hills. Rain will clear from the west during Tuesday afternoon."
It comes after Scotland is still dealing with the impact of Storm Eowyn, which sparked a rare red weather warning and brought wind gusts of 100mph when it hit in mid January.
Is a Scottish snow blizzard forecast?
The warning comes amid reports of a "snow blizzard".
Maps from WXCharts show a 500-mile-wide weather system which could cover the country with snow in just a few hours next week. No warnings have been issued as of yet.
Parts of the Highlands are forecast to see 11cm of snow.
Frank Saunders, Met Office Chief Meteorologist, said: “It’s worth being aware that despite a largely pleasant week ahead, there’s a good chance the UK will experience a dip in temperatures at the weekend and into next week.
"High-pressure is set to move in, bringing along with it easterly winds, low temperatures and an increasing risk of wintry hazards like snow and ice.
"We’ll know more as the week goes on so it’s worth keeping up-to-date with the forecast in your area.”
