The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued a Flooding Alert for Ayrshire and Arran.
Heavy rainfall is expected from Tuesday night into Wednesday, which will lead to a risk of flooding to land and property from rivers.
This may also result in widespread disruption to travel and infrastructure.
