The warnings come from both Met Éireann and the UK Met Office.
Two Status Yellow wind warnings covering four counties have been issued over “strong winds”.
The first to come into effect has been issued by Met Éireann and applies to Donegal from 2pm on Sunday to 3am on Monday.
“Southwest winds veering northwest will reach mean speeds of 50 to 65km/h with gusts of up to 100km/h,” it reads.
“Strong winds combined with high seas may lead to wave overtopping in coastal areas.”
The second weather warning was put out by the UK Met Office and is for Antrim, Derry and Down and will be in effect from 6pm on Sunday to 12pm on Monday.
It states that strong winds will likely cause some travel disruption and generate some large and dangerous waves around coastal areas.

Separate Status Yellow weather warnings had already been issued for Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Donegal, Down and Tyrone for Saturday but have since passed.
Meanwhile, Met Éireann on Friday ruled out “any significant snow event for the foreseeable future”.
In a video posted to Twitter, the weather service’s meteorologist Joanna Donnelly responded to recent reports forecasting snow for Ireland, stating that while conditions will get a “little chillier” from Saturday, snow is not on the cards.
“Seen some headlines going around forecasting snow. Just wanted to set the record straight real quick here,” she said.
“Met Éireann are not forecasting any significant snow event for the foreseeable future.
“It’s going to get a little chillier as the rain clears through tomorrow.
“You might if you’re lucky get a dusting on the high hills and mountains but no significant snow for the foreseeable.”
