Further Heavy Rain is expected on Thursday as Storm Ciarán arrives.
" These warnings follow an extremely wet weekend where flooding has already occurred on many roads, " the DfI said.
" The persistent wet conditions on saturated ground and with higher river levels will inevitably lead to more localised flooding.
" Traffic disruption is possible and The Public are being asked to consider their journeys and take extra care if travel is necessary. "
The Department issued advice for motorists making essential journeys in flood conditions.
" If your journey is essential, reduce your speed, stay well behind The Vehicle in front, remain focused and always wear your seatbelt, " a spokesperson said.

" Monitoring of water levels and tides has been ongoing and will continue until The Weather warnings have elapsed, " it said.
The Met Office is warning of between 25mm and 50mm of rain in places.
Up to 100mm is also possible over Higher Ground , with risks of possible flooding.
Homes and businesses could be affected, and travel disruption can be expected.

" A half wheel depth of fast flowing water could move your car. Even driving through shallow water could damage your engine, "
In Dromantine, County Down , approximately 100 sheep were stranded in a flooded field on Monday.

" Obviously we weren't sure of the depth of the water going in there, so that's why we had our special rescue team from Belfast who kept our firefighters safe And Then our large Animal Rescue team from Newcastle who are specialists in dealing with animal rescues. "
He Said that, with The Weather warnings for More Rain , if farmers have sheep in fields they should get them to shelter or High Ground .
