Donegal is set for a weekend washout with a weather warning for the county until 9am on Sunday morning.
Met Eireann issued the status yellow warning shortly after 9am this morning for heavy rain for the following 24 hours.
They said: "Falls of heavy rain at times today and overnight. Heaviest falls on higher ground."
The rest of the country has avoided warnings but could still see some rainfall throughout the day.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Staying mostly overcast today with fairly persistent rain or drizzle, turning heavy at times, especially over higher ground in Donegal. In contrast parts of the southwest could have a mostly dry day with the chance of a few brighter spells. Highest temperatures of 10 to 15 degrees, mildest in the southwest.
"Southwesterly winds will be fresh at times in the north, but generally light to moderate elsewhere."
And the rest of the weekend will be similar although a bit more pleasant in many places on Sunday and Monday.
The forecaster added: "Sunday will be mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain, along with some heavier, showery bursts at times in the east during the afternoon. Gradually turning drier and brighter from the north by evening with a chance of some late sunny spells in the north and northeast. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees, in light variable breezes.
"Bank-holiday Monday will start fairly cloudy in the morning with patchy outbreaks of rain. Some scattered showers will develop throughout the afternoon, breaking up the cloud and allowing some bright or sunny intervals to develop by evening. Highs of 13 to 17 degrees, in light northerly breezes."
