It's rain, rain and more rain for Tipperary with Status Yellow alert in force

Met Eireann has issued a yellow weather warning for Donegal which will see heavy rain this afternoon and a warning for  localised and coastal flooding. 

Met Éireann say that the warning will continue for a 24-hour period starting at 3pm today (Friday) and continue until 3pm  on Saturday.

They say that heavy rain with accumulations of 40-50mm over the period with localised flooding, is on the cards.

They added: "At the coast high seas and strong to gale force southerly winds will combine to give a risk of coastal flooding."

The counties of Galway, Mayo and Sligo are also included in the warning, so Donegal drivers are also asked to be vigilant of travelling down the west coast.
