A STATUS YELLOW warning for rain will come into effect tomorrow night for counties Dublin, Louth, Meath and Wicklow.
Met Éireann forecasts heavy rain at times in these counties, with the potential for spot flooding.
The alert comes into effect in these four counties from 10pm Friday night and will remain in place until 6am Saturday morning.
There will be outbreaks of rain and drizzle throughout much of the country this afternoon, though these outbreaks will clear early tonight.
After a mainly dry start to tomorrow, scattered showers will move in from the west and some will become heavy in the afternoon, with the chance of isolated thunderstorms and spot flooding.
Further heavy scattered showers will take place overnight Friday, the worst of which will be in the north and east where these scattered showers will merge to longer spells of rain and could lead to spot flooding.
This rain will linger in the east on Saturday morning while elsewhere will be mostly dry with sunny spells.
However, some showers in the north and west will extend to other areas throughout the afternoon and evening.
Saturday night is forecast to bring a mix of clear spells and scattered showers, and it is a similar picture on Sunday morning, with the heaviest and most frequent rain over the northern half of the country.
These showers will become more isolated and die out early into Sunday night, though cloud and rain will increase from the south throughout Monday morning and push northwards throughout the rest of the day.

What’s Ireland doing wrong can’t even get a bit of this global warming
@John Kenny: not to worry…they’ll still be telling us at the end of the year it was the hottest summer on record.
@John Kenny: we’d be a lot worse off if the planet was getting colder
Ah, the summer is coming any day now.
@did you every wonder: summer been here and gone remember the one week in may,,,
Pretty sure the picture is St. Anne’s church on Dawson street. Definitely not St. Pats.
Getting a bit sick of this summer to be fair. I had to put an extra blanket on my bed, in July! When I lived in Minnie I once woke up to 3 inches of snow in June. We’re not quite there but we’re not far off. Climate change affects different places differently. We get almost all of weather from West to East, so from the Atlantic. Warmer Atlantic waters means more rain and stormy weather. So the annual temp might be higher and we’ll probably break the 33 record before long, but warmer years doesn’t necessarily mean heat waves for Ireland. It will mean wetter summers and eventually colder winters.
@Gearoid MacEachaidh: that was supposed to be Minnesota, not Minnie. I did not break up Mickey and Minnie
I’m living just a mile past the South Dublin border so I’m sure the rain will stop at the border…!!
And it was all yellow
have your say
