Ireland is set to be battered by Storm Franklin for several more hours on Monday after a brutal few days of weather across the country.
The third storm in a week will gradually die out on Monday morning, with the last of the weather warnings in place until 9am.
The Status Yellow wind warning for the entire country warns that Storm Franklin will cause very strong winds with severe and damaging gusts.
Met Eireann says: "These winds combined with very high seas will lead to wave overtopping along Atlantic coasts, which may result in coastal flooding."
Meanwhile, a Status Orange wind alert for Donegal, Leitrim and Sligo ends at 7am.
The national forecast predicts a very windy this morning with strong to near gale force northwesterly winds and severe gusts, with these quickly easing through the morning.
Scattered showers in the north and east will gradually die out and there will be a good deal of dry and bright weather in the morning.
