Rain is set to batter much of the country tonight
Waterford has now been included in Met Eireann's Status Orange weather warning this evening, joining Cork as the two counties likely to experience the worst of the rain on Thursday, into Friday.
Met Eireann has warned people in those two counties that between the above periods, "persistent and heavy rain will lead to localised flooding, poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions." Meanwhile, a Status Yellow rain warning will come into effect for the counties of Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Offaly, Wexford, Wicklow, Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary."Tonight will be wet in many areas with persistent and sometimes heavy rain with spot flooding, especially over Munster, Leinster and east Ulster," a Met Eireann spokesperson said.
