Two nationwide Status Yellow weather warnings will come into effect on Saturday.
Met Eireann has also warned of the likelihood of coastal flooding due to the combination of Spring tides and heavy rain, particularly along southern, western and northwestern coasts.
Today, Friday, will remain relatively calm, with showery rain later in the day. Conditions will deteriorate significantly by Saturday evening however, leading into a very wet and windy Sunday.
