Flood warnings cover Carlow, Dublin, Kilkenny, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow and Waterford. The warning runs from noon Friday until midnight (11.59pm). The warning was originally scheduled to begin at 9am but Met Éireann changed the start time in the early hours of Friday. Forecasters say the ground has limited capacity to absorb further water, increasing the likelihood of rapid surface runoff. Rapid runoff can raise flood risk quickly, particularly in low-lying locations and areas with poor drainage. Residents and local authorities should expect quickly rising water levels in vulnerable areas during the warning period.
