A Status Orange wind warning has been issued for Waterford and the entire country as Storm Éowyn makes its way towards Ireland.
Met Éireann says Friday morning will see severe, damaging and destructive winds with gusts of up to 130 kilometres an hour widely across the country- and even higher gusts for a time.
The Orange wind warning comes into effect at 2am Friday morning until 5pm Friday evening with the potential for fallen trees, damage to power lines and power outages, structural damage and very difficult travelling conditions.
Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly says the storm could be as bad as Storm Ophelia in 2017.
