Weather Advisories are issued up to about a week in advance.

Although temperatures are set to rise a little this coming weekend, it seems there'll be no relief from the heavy rainfall of late.

An advisory warning has been put out by Met Éireann for 15 counties valid from 12pm on Saturday until 6pm on Tuesday.

The counties affected by the warning are: Connacht, Longford, Offaly, Westmeath, Cavan, Donegal, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary.

Weather Advisories are issued up to about a week ahead to provide early information on potential hazardous weather.

The national forecaster said: ''Periods of heavy rainfall from Saturday to Tuesday may lead to some local flooding as river levels remain elevated.

''The heaviest of the rain will be through Saturday afternoon, and again early Monday and early Tuesday, with rainfall accumulations from Saturday to Tuesday of 40 to 50mm in places, with some spot flooding.''
