Met Éireann has issued a Yellow Rainfall alert for Tipperary until midnight tonight.
Up to 50 millimetres of rain is forecast for Tipperary today- this has already led to spot flooding on many roads across the county.
Excess surface water is reported on the M8 and M7 in particular which is leading to problems with aquaplaning.
