Met Eireann has issued a yellow status warning for Cork and Kerry as heavy rains prepare to hit.
The caution follows a cool wind alert for Donegal, Galway and Mayo, which are expected to see gusts of 100 km / h overnight.
The latest alert says up to 40mm of rain will fall in the two counties, with possible local flooding.
It aired at 7pm on Saturday and is in effect from 9am on Sunday throughout the day.

And more severe weather is expected Sunday even after Storm Aiden passes.
Met Eireann expects dire conditions to hit coastal areas all day with a state red gale warning.

The forecaster said: “Stormy Sunday with some bright or sunny spells to start.”
“However, the outbreaks of rain will spread from the southwest during the morning and afternoon, sometimes becoming intense and bringing the risk of flooding.
“Southwest winds will stay cool to strong in the southern counties, decreasing from mild to moderate elsewhere. Some patches of fog as well. Higher temperatures of 10 to 16 degrees, cooler in the north and milder in the south”.
