It goes live on Wednesday morning.

Warnings for heavy rain have been issued for Kildare and 9 other counties.

The status yellow alerts cover Kerry, Cork, Carlow, Kilkenny, Laois, Wexford, Wicklow, Tipperary and Waterford.

They come into effect in the early hours of tomorrow morning and will stay in place until Thursday morning.

Met Eireann says there's a risk of localised flooding in the affected counties.

Low pressure will bring spells of wet weather this week which could lead to some impacts from local flooding - #rain warnings issued ⚠️☔️

It's quite mild at the moment too, but it'll turn cooler later in the week as a fresher airmass pushes across the country 📉 pic.twitter.com/jPr11RIOPe
