WINDS of up to 70mph and heavy rainfall are expected to cause widespread disruption across the west and south of Scotland during this morning's rush hour.
The Met Office issued an "amber" warning of dis-ruption, saying areas hit on Monday were vulnerable to further flooding.
The worst weather is due in Strathclyde, Dumfries and Galloway, Stirling, Perth and the southern Highlands as the conditions move from west to east.
More than 100 residents were evacuated from homes and transport links were cut off in Comrie, Perthshire, earlier this week.
Properties were also flooded in Dunblane, Aberfoyle, Callander and Dumfries and Galloway.
The Met Office said southerly gale-force winds will accompany the rain, with gusts of up to 60mph possible in some areas and 70mph in exposed areas.
Transport Minister Keith Brown said: "Our Multi Agency Response Team will be fully operational to monitor the network and provide assistance."
There are 12 flood alerts, covering Argyll and Bute, Ayrshire and Arran, Dumfries and Galloway, Central, Dundee and Angus, Edinburgh and Lothians, Fife, Scottish Borders, Skye and Lochaber, West Central Scotland, Western Isles and Tayside,
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
