Met Eireann has issued a status yellow weather warning this weekend, with heavy downpours expected in parts of the country tonight.
From 10pm this evening, heavy rain is likely to develop along the south coast before moving northeast into parts of Leinster. The forecaster said that there was "some uncertainty about the track of the depression", but strong rainfall was likely to occur on Saturday night and on Sunday morning.
According to Breaking News, localised flooding is expected and will affect Dublin, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork and Waterford.
"Heavy rain during the coming night and possibly early tomorrow morning also there may be in excess of 25mm of rain in and around the Dublin area from about 10pm onwards tonight until about 10am the following morning," said Met Eireann's David Rogers.
"It may give rise to some localised flooding, but because most of the rain will fall during the night hours, the impact probably won't be that intense."
