Much of Scotland is again being hit by gale-force winds and heavy rain.
About 5,000 homes across Scotland are without power as gales and heavy rain batter the country again.
The west and south west of Scotland has been hit by strong winds as an area of low pressure moved northwards.
Scottish Power said 3,800 homes in Dumfries and Galloway and Ayrshire had lost power, as winds of 50 mph to 60 mph blew across the south and west.
More than 3,000 homes have lost their electrical supply, according to Scottish Power, with Dumfries and Galloway the worst affected area.
In the north, Scottish and Southern Energy said 1,200 were without electricity.
The company said it was doing all it could to restore supplies but high winds meant it was too dangerous for engineers to repair some power lines.
These included 590 in Angus, 416 on Orkney, 144 in Inverness, 56 in Aberdeenshire, and 15 in Oban.
Some homes in South Ayrshire are also without electricity.
A yellow (be aware) warning for wind and rain is in force for much of Scotland, including Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders, the Lothians, Fife and parts of Tayside.
Scottish Hydro Electric, which supplies electricity to the north of Scotland, said it was "business as usual" and other than a few "isolated faults" the network was operating as normal.
The Met Office said there were widespread gusts of 50 mph to 60 mph, with up to 70 mph in the most exposed parts.
The Met Office has extended the reach of the yellow "be aware" warning of high winds to include the central belt, with gusts of 50-60mph expected.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) said rain falling on saturated ground could lead to flooding in low-lying agricultural areas, mainly in Tayside, but the risk to towns and cities was low.
The wind warning still covers Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders, with gusts of 70mph affecting the coasts and the high ground.
Sepa reported an improving situation regarding coastal flood risks.
A yellow warning for heavy rain over Argyll, Dumfries and Galloway, Angus, Perthshire and the Borders remains in place.
Rail services were disrupted during the morning, including services between Aberdeen and Dundee due to a loss of signalling at Aberdeen and Largs & Ardrossan services in Ayrshire because of damage to overhead lines at Saltcoats.
A total of 13 flood warnings are in place, mainly in Tayside, with up to 40mm of rain predicted in some places.
Services are returning to normal in the far north following a landslip at Bruichnain.
There is disruption on many train routes, with early morning cancellations to allow Network Rail to check that the rail lines are clear of debris or floodwater.
There are speed restrictions affecting the cross-border East Coast services.
Buses will replace trains between Aberdeen and Dundee and also between Kilwinning and Largs/Ardrossan in Ayrshire.
Ferries have also been disrupted, especially the Clyde and Hebrides routes due to high winds.
East Coast and Virgin trains said many services faced disruption and delays of up to an hour.
The situation across the road network was generally good, though traffic is lighter than normal due to the holiday period.
There are high-wind warnings on the Skye, Friarton and Erskine bridges and the Tay and Forth Road Bridges have speed restrictions and are closed to double-deckers.
Transport Minister Keith Brown said: "In Scotland, the south west is being worst affected by today's heavy rain and strong winds, although conditions are not as severe as the storms that affected the north and north west earlier this week, and these windy and wet conditions are not unusual for this time of year.
In Dumfries and Galloway, there are a number of roads blocked by fallen trees.
"However, we must not be complacent which is why the Scottish government's Resilience committee is closely monitoring the situation, working closely with all our partners to share information and ensure resources are targeted where they are needed.
Irish Sea ferry services from Cairnryan were suspended on Friday morning but P&O Irish Sea said it was resuming sailings but customers were warned there was a backlog of traffic.
"The risk of flooding appears to be subsiding, although the stormy conditions continue to disrupt the rail network and power supplies. Engineers are working to resolve these issues as soon as possible."
Ferries from Gourock to Dunoon, operated by Argyll Ferries, and Calmac's Largs/Cumbrae service were also suspended.
Other west coast ferries, such as Ardrossan/Brodick, were disrupted.
Tayside, where the ground is already saturated from days of wet weather, is most at risk of flooding, according to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
Warnings for flooding in Helensburgh, Dumbarton, Gourock and Renfrew have been downgraded. Localised flooding was reported in Ayrshire.
The Met Office said: "Widespread gales are expected to last much of Friday bringing gusts of 50 mph or 60 mph inland and gusts to 70 mph or 80 mph to some coastal areas and high ground."
A storm on Christmas Eve caused widespread disruption that stretched into Christmas Day in some areas.
Northern parts of Scotland bore the brunt, with the highest gusts recorded at Peterhead (82mph), Inverbervie (77mph) and South Uist (75mph).
The rest of the country was buffeted by wind speeds of between 50 and 60mph.
At the height of the storm, 3,500 homes lost electricity and just under 1,800 were still cut off from the grid on Christmas morning.
