The Met Office said bands of rain would move east across Northern Ireland during Thursday and early Friday.
It said some of the rain will be heavy, particularly during Thursday afternoon and also for the first part of Friday in the east.
The public has been warned there could be a risk of localised flooding.
The warning is valid from midday on Thursday through to 08:00 on Friday morning.
"An active frontal system will move east across Northern Ireland during Thursday and early Friday morning," a statement from the Chief Forecaster said.
