Cathal Nolan of Midland Weather Channel has issued a severe weather warning ahead of Friday, as latest weather charts indicate that there is a possibility of wet and very windy weather.
"The latest guidance suggests that there exists the possibility of wind reaching as high as 130 km/hr in some coastal areas during Friday and into Friday night," he said.
"With this in mind, I have issued a severe weather alert, which may be upgraded or downgraded depending upon the evolution of the storm over the coming days. At present the storm looks like affecting all parts of the country but with coastal areas most at risk.
"Presently, the projected strength of the storm has the potential to produce winds of over 120 km/h, with maximum gusts at present ranging anywhere between 120-130 km/h. Some models such as ICON-EU show winds approaching 150 km/h across some southern and western coastal areas, however I don't expect those projections to be true at present."
