"There is also a risk of some thunder. Later in the day drier conditions will extend into the west and southwest but further spells of rain will continue elsewhere.
"Highest temperatures 10 to 14 degrees. Winds will be mostly light to moderate and variable in direction, but strong and gusty along south and southwest coasts."
The weather warning is in place for Munster, Connacht, Carlow, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Wexford, Offaly and Westmeath until midnight on Monday.
Temperatures will drop to as low as 3C on Monday night.
Rain will continue overnight, with Met Eireann warning of "heavy falls" early in the night.
It will become drier is most areas as the night progresses, with mist and fog patches forming on Tuesday morning.
The forecaster said: "Further outbreaks of rain tonight with some heavy falls at first, but the rain will become patchier overnight with drier weather for most areas by morning.
"Mist and fog will form widely in near calm conditions. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 7 degrees."
