Localised downpours will lead to spot flooding and hazardous driving conditions. The warning is valid from noon on Monday to 5am on Tuesday.
However, the worst of the rain will hit Tralee between 2pm and 6pm this afternoon. Tomorrow is looking dry but temperatures will be only in the mid to high teens.
The rest of the week looks like a mixture of sunshine and showers with temperatures again not getting above 15 or 16 degrees.
