Both weather warnings come after days of unbroken sunshine across the region.
The Met Office had already officially declared heatwave conditions in Ulster, as temperatures have exceeded more than 25C for three days in a row.
On issuing the amber warning, the Met Office said: "Thunderstorms likely to bring torrential downpours causing travel disruption and, in a few places, flooding."
They also shared what the public can expect from the amber warning and how it could impact them. They said:
- Flooding of homes and businesses is likely and could happen quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds
- Fast flowing or deep floodwater is likely, causing danger to life
- Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, delays and some cancellations to train and bus services are likely
- Spray and sudden flooding probably leading to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
- Some communities likely to become cut off if roads flood
- Power cuts likely to occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost
