The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for rain covering all of Scotland on 30 and 31 December, with "significant disruption" expected from early Monday.
This may bring power cuts and flooding before new year events, it said, although Hogmanay events in some places may be spared as there is still a lot of uncertainty over which areas will be the worst affected.
The warning comes as air traffic restrictions were put in place at several UK airports because of fog, the country's main air traffic control (ATC) provider, Nats, said yesterday.
