SPOT flooding is causing driving difficulty on a number of Donegal roads tonight.

With a status yellow rainfall in place in Donegal until 2am, flooding has taken hold in parts.

The road at Ballyraine, between the Ballyraine roundabout and the Pin Tavern, is flooded.

There are also parts of the R236 between St Johnston and Raphoe and the N14, Lifford to Letterkenny road, affected with surface water making conditions dangerous in places.

Motorists are advised to travel with care.

It was forecast that Donegal would get between 20mm and 30mm of rain from 8pm.

Met Eireann said: “Heavy downpours of rain expected with totals 30-40mm with spot flooding likely especially near the coast.

“Saturday night will be wet as persistent or heavy rain over Munster and Leinster continue with risk of spot flooding.

“It is not certain yet if this rain will extend over Ulster and Connacht, but there is good possibility that it will.

“The rain will eventually clear eastwards overnight with clear spells following. Lowest temperatures of 9C to 11C.”
