Road users are reminded that spray and potential flooding could lead to dangerous driving conditions.

As well as heavy rain, we can expect some strong gusts of wind in Glasgow reaching gale force at times.

The Met Office said: "An area of heavy rain will spread from the west Friday morning.

"Accumulations of 20-30 mm are likely in a few hours with a chance of up to 40 mm in one or two places, chiefly across higher parts.

"Southerly winds will touch gale at times, with fallen leaves adding to the risk of flooding and possible disruption to transport." 

Heavy rainfall should turn to light showers in the early to mid-afternoon.
