We're warned strong and very gusty winds could lead to falling branches, localised debris, and difficult traveling conditions.

Then, there's a status Orange wind warning for tomorrow as Storm Darragh makes landfall.

It covers Galway, Kerry, Clare, Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal from 10pm tomorrow night until 9am on Saturday morning.

It covers all of Connacht, as well as Clare, Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan, Longford, Louth, Meath, and Westmeath.

There'll be heavy rain on Friday night followed by heavy showers on Saturday morning, which could cause localised flooding and poor visibility on the roads.
