Another awful day.
With two storms already hitting this week, Ireland's luck isn't over as more "hazardous conditions" are expected this weekend.
On Saturday, we'll experience sleet, snow, rain and strong winds as Met Eireann predict more harsh weather.
Sunday, however, is set to only get worse as more wind is expected, and one weather expert is saying it could be "worse than Storm Eunice".
Speaking on his Carlow Weather Twitter account, Alan O'Reilly wrote: "I’m afraid the latest weather models increase the impacts of bad weather tomorrow with very strong gusts and heavy rain. The Northwest and West will take the brunt of the winds.
“The impacts of Sunday’s weather will be worse than storm Eunice for the northwest and parts of the West as they escaped Friday but they won’t escape Sunday. All areas will see some very poor weather tomorrow and tomorrow night so take care if planning outdoor activities.
“Keep an eye on weather warnings as likely to be updated based on latest charts."
There are currently a number of weather warnings in place for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

“Very strong westerly winds are expected on Sunday and Monday. Coastal flooding is possible in places,” Met Eireann said.
Looking at the conditions tomorrow, Met Eireann added: "Sunday will be wet and very windy with strong to near gale force southwest winds.
"Rain will be heavy at times leading to localised flooding. Rain will clear southeastwards to frequent showers through the afternoon, some heavy with possible hail.
“There will be very strong gusts during the afternoon across the western half of the country as winds veer westerly, with very high seas also. Mild during the morning and early afternoon with highest temperatures of 9C to 11C, however it will turn much colder from the northwest after rain clears.
“Remaining very windy overnight with very strong gusts in the west and northwest. Scattered showers, some heavy with hail, most frequent in the northwest with limited clear spells.
“Some showers of sleet or snow possible on high ground. Lowest temperatures of 1C to 5C with temperatures increasing before dawn.”
