Forecasters predict that the weather will remain wet and very windy in the run up to Christmas with gusts of 60mph tomorrow and up to 90mph on Tuesday.
SEPA has issued eight flood alerts for Tayside today and four flood warnings for rivers in Tayside, Central, Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders.
John Griffiths, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said: "Throughout the course of tomorrow a low pressure system is going to move quite close to the west of Scotland bringing severe gales and some quite heavy rain on Monday pushing up from the south west.
"There will be lots more rain, especially on Monday afternoon and snow over high ground.
"On Tuesday, winds are going to be very very strong, up to storm force with damaging gusts of 90mph on Tuesday afternoon.
"They will ease off through Tuesday into Wednesday but it is a very very windy period for Scotland and stormy in the lead up to Christmas day."
Yesterday, Jedburgh in the Borders was hit by flash flooding.
More than 40 firefighters were called to the scene after the Skip Running Burn burst its banks at around 5.45pm yesterday.
Scottish Borders Council (SBC) said that the town centre was affected, with some domestic properties and businesses flooded.
One resident had to leave his home and temporary accommodation was provided for him.
Fire crews used pumps to clear the water and handed out sandbags, as well as providing reassurance to residents.
The burn was back within its banks by 7.30pm.
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 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
