A yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for Donegal this weekend

A yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for Donegal, with Met Éireann advising of a heightened risk of flooding over the weekend.
The alert comes as heavy rainfall is expected to fall on ground that is already saturated following recent unsettled conditions.
The warning will take effect from 6pm on Saturday, 13 December, and will remain in place until midnight on Monday, 15 December.
Donegal County Council say spells of persistent and heavy rain could lead to both river flooding and surface water build-up in vulnerable areas. Motorists are being urged to take extra caution due to difficult travelling conditions and reduced visibility.
