Storm Éowyn is forecast to hit Ireland over the weekend, bringing with it strong winds, heavy rain, and potential for sleet and snow. The storm is expected to make landfall in the northwest, with Met Éireann issuing warnings for dangerous travelling conditions and potential power outages. The weather is set to turn wetter and windier on Thursday night as Éowyn approaches, with widespread rain and strong southerly winds. Friday will see very windy conditions with potential for wintry showers, and the unsettled weather is expected to continue into the following weekend.
Storm Éowyn is making its way towards Ireland and is projected to land closer to the weekend, but how bad will the weather be?
Western and northwestern counties are likely to see status orange wind warnings as a minimum, with exact weather warnings due to be announced closer to the date the storm lands. On Wednesday, the mist and fog will clear in the morning, but may linger across eastern and northern areas for a time. Most areas will be dry with sunny spells and well scattered showers. It will remain cool with highest temperatures of 4 to 9 degrees.
Met Éireann say their current indications suggest that it will turn wet and windy on Thursday night as Storm Éowyn lands. Southerly winds will become very strong and gusty as rain spreads from the southwest, becoming widespread overnight. The rain, which will be very heavy could turn to sleet or snow in some places.
