THE Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning with “heavy rain” expected across parts of Scotland this weekend.
The warning has been issued from 4am on Sunday September 24 and will last until 11.59pm.
Forecasters warned “persistent and heavy rain” is expected through Sunday leading to some flooded roads and a small chance of property flooding.
The warning covers parts of Argyll and Bute, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, Angus, Stirling, Perth and Kinross and parts of west Aberdeenshire.
The Met Office added that delays and cancellations to rails services are possible with some disruption expected on roads with difficult driving conditions.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
