Ireland is set to brace itself as Met Eireann has issued multiple warnings ahead of Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice.
The national forecaster announced a Status Yellow warning for the entire country warning of winds with mean speeds of 50 – 65km/h with damaging gusts of 80 – 110km/h which will be stronger on exposed coasts and on high ground.
Additionally, a combination of high tide and strong winds will lead to flooding on exposed coasts.
The alert is in place for 24hours from 12pm on Wednesday.
A Status Orange wind alert is in place from Donegal warning of powerful gusts as high as 130km/h from 9pm on Wednesday to 2am on Thursday.
Furthermore the UK Met Office has announced an amber wind warning for Antrim, Derry and a yellow wind warning for Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, and Derry.
Tomorrow will see a mostly dry start with some sunshine and showers which will turn to spells of rain and sleet in the north in the evening.
Storm Dudley is expected to barrel across the north of Ireland on Wednesday afternoon and evening.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "After a brief respite on Thursday, Storm Eunice looks likely to track up over Ireland later on Thursday night and during Friday, bringing with it the potential for some severe winds countrywide. It also has the potential to bring falls of snow."
