Weather warnings have been issued for two specific areas of Northern Ireland with forecasters expecting "possible" flooding of homes and businesses.
A warning for a "prolonged spell" of rain is in place from 2pm today through to 3pm tomorrow. The warning is in place for two specific areas - much of the Glens area in Co Antrim, and a swathe of land taking in Newcastle, Kilkeel and Warrenpoint in Co Down.
Areas in between, including Belfast, are not included in the territory covered by the warning issued by the Met Office on Friday morning.

Meanwhile, a similar warning is in place in the south of Wales and another in the south of England that takes in Exeter and Plymouth.
The Met Office warning in Northern Ireland is for a "prolonged spell of rain, some of it heavy, will likely cause difficult driving conditions and some disruption to travel."
A Met Office spokesperson said: "What should I expect? Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible. Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer. Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer. Some interruption to power supplies and other services possible."
The forecaster added: "A spell of persistent, and at times heavy, rain developing today lasts well into Saturday. 20 to 40 mm of rain is likely to build up widely with 50 to 75 mm over some higher ground and perhaps in excess of 75 mm in one or two spots."
