A total of 20 counties are under a Status Yellow wind warning as horrific conditions are set to hit this evening.
The first two alerts are in place for all of Leinster and all of Connacht until 6pm this evening as gusts of up to 90km/h are set to hit.
While the second warning is for Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal, and is place until 9pm.
It reads: "Strong and gusty south to southwest winds with gusts in excess of 90km/h."
Meanwhile conditions will settle down somewhat later today and tomorrow, although plenty of wet weather is still expected.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "There'll be further showers or longer spells of rain this evening and tonight, with more persistent rain in the southwest moving north overnight, clearing once again to showers over the southern half of the country by morning.
"Temperatures overnight will be between 7 and 10 degrees, falling to between 4 and 6 degrees around dawn. Winds will ease moderate to fresh southerly, remaining strong on coasts.
"Rain or showers for tomorrow, Sunday, particularly in the first half of the day over the northern half of the country, with sunny spells and scattered showers elsewhere. Afternoon temperatures will reach 8 to 11 degrees in moderate to fresh westerly winds."
And as we move into next week weather experts warned it's going to turn colder and drier, with a risk of frost returning.
A forecaster added: "Rain in the west by dawn on Monday, extending eastwards to all areas through the morning and afternoon. Highs of 12 or 13 degrees, in fresh southwest winds, strong on coasts.
"Cloudy with showers in the west and north Monday night. A mild and breezy night with temperatures not falling below 10 degrees.
"Mild, breezy and cloudy on Tuesday, with patchy rain in the south and west. Highs of 13 to 15 degrees, in fresh to strong southerly winds.
"Sunny spells with showers on Wednesday, most frequent in the west and north, with a spell of more persistent rain in the northwest later. Highs in the morning of 9 or 10 degrees, but turning colder through the afternoon as a cold front crosses the country. Fresh to strong southwest winds, veering northwest later."
