All schools currently or forecast to be in a red or orange weather alert area tomorrow should remain closed on Wednesday, officials say.
The Department of Education says this will allow for assessment of the impact of Storm Barra to take place.
This includes counties Donegal, Dublin, Sligo, Leitrim, Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Limerick, Clare, Galway, Mayo and Wexford.
Dublin was added to the list after a status orange warning was issued for the county on Tuesday night.
In a statement, the Department said: "Schools that are no longer in a Red or Orange Alert area can reopen, provided that, if there are concerns, school managers have had an opportunity to check for fallen wires and other serious damage in the vicinity of school buildings.
"If an individual school (in a yellow area) is still experiencing a particular local issue relating to the storm the Board of Management can make a decision to remain closed for tomorrow.
"All schools should keep up-to-date with the current weather warnings which are carried on all national and local news bulletins and in particular any change in the status warning for their area."
Meanwhile, Met Eireann says the forecast remains quite changeable.
