A flood alert has been issued for Glasgow, with rain expected to continue for the rest of Sunday.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is reminding the public to "remain vigilant" as river levels are expected to rise due to heavy rainfall last night.
SEPA said: "Localised flooding affecting low-lying land, roads and isolated properties, and disruption to travel, is possible.
"Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property."
Surface flooding is also expected during periods of heavy rain.
Police Scotland has also issued a Scotland-wide warning of strong winds and heavy rain affecting travel.
Take care if heading out this morning. Strong winds, heavy rain and localised flooding affecting many parts with some travel and ferry disruption likely. Our advice is always to check before setting off and always drive to the conditions #PolScotControl #DriveSafe #WeatherAware pic.twitter.com/SZ6E1Vuhr0
