"A spell of wet and very windy, possibly stormy, weather is expected on Thursday night/ Friday morning as a deep depression tracks Northwards to the West of Ireland. There is the risk of coastal flooding due to high tides and surge. "Later Friday and continuing into Saturday there is the potential for some high totals of rainfall and flooding due to another area of low pressure and series of weather fronts, with the East and South particularly at risk".It comes into operation at 11 pm on Thursday night and is in place until 9 pm on Saturday. If this storm does materialise, it will be called Storm Callum. Carlow Weather shared an update earlier, explaining that "damaging gusts" are expected. Of course, this is all subject to change and it's wise to keep an eye on Met Éireann over the coming days.
