Ireland is on storm alert with Met Eireann monitoring an incoming low-pressure system that could become our first named storm of the season. It has also issued an urgent, rare weather advisory.
Ireland is preparing for a potentially destructive weekend as Met Eireann places the country on storm alert The national forecaster has warned that brutal weather conditions are on the way, with severe wind and torrential rain threatening to wreak havoc.
Met Eireann meterologist Liz Walsh said: “There is still a lot of uncertainty in the details at this time, but the potential is there for strong winds and therefore a named storm on Saturday night into Sunday." Weather models suggest that a powerful low pressure system will sweep in from the Atlantic, making landfall along Ireland's southwest coast on Saturday night before moving northeast across the country throughout Sunday.
"This system is then expected to undergo a period of rapid deepening, creating a storm depression as it swings up to the northwest of Ireland around Saturday night or Sunday morning. "
