Flood warnings remain in place for large parts of the country after continued heavy rain.
Firefighters spent much of the night clearing water away from properties across Fife and Tayside, with a number of people having to be rescued from their cars.
Police said there are a few minor roads closed in central Scotland and Grampian and one in Dumfries and Galloway.
The Met Office has amber "be prepared" weather warnings in place in Tayside, Fife and central Scotland, while yellow "be aware" warnings cover much of the rest of the country.
There are 24 flood warnings in place around central Scotland, Tayside and the Borders while coastal communities, which were hit by severe storms last weekend, have also been put on alert for rising river levels and high waves.
Drivers are being reminded to take care on the roads in the wet and windy conditions. The warning comes as two drivers were stopped for allegedly driving at around 100mph on the M8 last night during what police described as extremely poor conditions.
Superintendent Jim Baird said: "If you drive in excess of the speed limit you risk not just your life but other road users' lives also. To do so in such poor weather and road conditions is just plain dangerous and is unacceptable."
Richard Brown, head of hydrology at the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa), said: "The heaviest rainfall is expected to be in Stirlingshire, Perthshire, Angus, south Aberdeenshire, Central, the Southern Uplands and an area just to the north of Glasgow. The rain will be accompanied by strong to gale force south-easterly winds.
"There is also a coastal flood risk throughout Friday for the northern, Moray and eastern coastlines including Stonehaven and Orkney. Disruption is possible in areas where defences were damaged over last weekend. The rain is expected to gradually decrease during Friday before further rain extends northwards during Saturday."
Environment Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: "With this latest bout of severe weather in parts of Scotland I would reiterate Sepa's advice that the public should remain vigilant and pay attention to Floodline. The Scottish Government's Resilience Team is monitoring the situation and is engaged with local responders to understand the impacts of the weather on areas affected and support their efforts to protect communities across Scotland."
