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.
