Met Éireann also issued a weather advisory for the entire country this weekend which will be in place until 6pm tomorrow.
The forecaster is warning of very unsettled weather with spells of heavy rain leading to surface and river flooding.
It will continue to be very windy and stormy at times with some severe and damaging gusts possible.
Some coastal flooding is possible also due to the combination of low pressure, high tides and onshore winds.
It comes as Storm Aiden left thousands of homes and businesses without electricity yesterday, with around 8,000 customers affected at the peak of the power outages.
