It comes after Met Éireann issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo earlier on Friday afternoon.
The rain alert will apply from 4pm on Saturday to 4pm on Sunday.
Before then, two Status Yellow warnings remain in place on Friday for the entire country due to Storm Eunice.
One is a wind warning and is in effect until 6pm on Friday.
The other is a snow and ice warning and will be valid until 10am on Saturday.
Earlier on Friday, Storm Eunice made landfall in the southwest of Ireland, bringing gusts of 130 kilometres per hour along with heavy rain, sleet and even some snowy conditions.
A man in his 60s died on Friday morning after sustaining injuries from a falling tree in Wexford.
Meanwhile, thousands of homes across Ireland were left without power as a result of the storm’s arrival into the country.
