Between 25 and 35mm of rain is expected to fall between Friday and Saturday in Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo.
Met Éireann has issued a status yellow rainfall warning for these counties, from 3am on Friday until 3am on Saturday.
“As the ground is saturated at the moment and river levels are elevated, the forecast rainfall may lead to some localised surface and river flooding,” it warned.
Rainfall
Over the last two weeks parts of the country have been hit with heavy rain, with land saturated and waterlogged in parts.
The highest volume of rain was recorded at Claremorris in Co Mayo, where 70mm fell in the past week, over twice the average. Even the driest station, Roche’s Point Co Cork, recorded nearly 40mm of rain.
