Met Eireann Issues Weather Warning For 10 Counties As Another “Possible Storm” Heads Our Way

We're surely going to run out of names for all these 'storms' that have been coming our way

Met Eireann has announced that 10 counties have been issued with a weather warning on Wednesday.

The Status Yellow, Wind Warning is for all of Connacht, Cavan, Donegal, Clare, Kerry and Limerick.

They say that:

"Southwest winds will reach mean wind speeds between 55 to 65km/h with gusts of 90 to 110km/h, strongest near coasts where these limits may be exceeded for a short period later on Thursday night."

The warning is valid from Thursday at 10pm until Friday, December 7th at 9am.

Still a lot of uncertainty on the weather models for the possible storm Friday. These two charts for 13:00 from last two model runs from ICON-EU show how small changes can make a big difference to the possible impacts. pic.twitter.com/ErEWTVDHQY
