Update:
Friday, 9.30am – Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow Wind Warning for Co Clare following on from an Advisory issued by the weather service yesterday.
Forecasters say Storm Ashley will bring strong and gusty southerly winds, coupled with high spring tides.
The possible impacts of the expected weather included coastal flooding; large coastal waves; some fallen trees, branches; difficult driving and cycling conditions; debris and loose objects being displaced.
The warning will take effect at 10.00am on Sunday and remain un place until midnight.
A Status Orange Wind Warning has been issued for Galway and Mayo.
Thursday: Yesterday Met Éireann’s Weather Warning Alerting Service issued an advisory for this weekend which could see high winds and coastal flooding.
The weather service has also said we can expect weather warnings to be issued tomorrow for the weekend. In the meantime, Met Éireann is advising that an exceptionally high supermoon with spring tides could result in coastal flooding possible. Wind warnings expected Saturday night and into Sunday.”
“This Friday, a brief period of heavy rain and strong winds across the country is expected. We are monitoring another low-pressure system which could undergo rapid deepening on Saturday with the potential for strong winds and potentially a named storm; however, uncertainty still exists about this event.”
Additionally, we are currently in one of the highest Spring tides of the year and this, tied in with any strong winds and high waves will increase the risk of coastal flooding.
Weather warnings for Saturday/Sunday, related to the Advisory issued for Ireland today, will be issued starting tomorrow, Friday 18th October, when Met Éireann’s high–resolution model provides an updated situation about the evolution of the low pressure system, and our meteorologists analyse it.
