THUNDERSTORMS may bring disruption during Sunday afternoon and evening, as a yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office.
The warning applies to the south of Scotland and most of the Central Belt, with a possibility of high temperatures remaining.
The Met Office has advised the weather may bring disruption from 2pm to 11.59pm on Sunday, September 10.
As a cold front gradually moves south through the weekend, the change will bring the risk of thundery downpours in some areas on Sunday.

The public are warned flooding of homes and businesses could happen quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds.
The Met Office is also warning power cuts might occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost.
It comes after Scotland experienced a week of high temperatures, some areas reaching to 29 degrees.
Met Office chief meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: “Although much of the UK will see high temperatures and sunny skies continue on Saturday, in what has a possibility of being the hottest day of the year so far, there’s also the potential for some thunderstorms, which has resulted in a yellow warning being issued for much of central England and parts of east Wales.
“Temperatures will begin to trend downwards from Saturday in the far northwest of Scotland, with a cold front gradually moving south through the weekend, bringing with it the risk of some heavy and thundery downpours on Sunday as well. However, the southeast will hold on to the high temperatures the longest and could still reach 32 degrees on Sunday.”
