Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow wind and rain warning for Donegal ahead of Storm Brian’s arrival tonight, just days after a Status Red warning due to ex-Hurricane Ophelia.
“Storm Brian, a rapidly deepening depression in the mid-Atlantic, is expected to fill as it tracks over parts of Ireland late Friday night and early on Saturday,” Met Eireann says.
“Some flooding expected, most especially in coastal regions, where very high seas will also pound the coasts.
“Take extra care, as some structures may have been weakened from the effects of the recent storm Ophelia.
“It should be noted that various parts of the country will experience the very strong winds at different times during this period and northern counties are not expected to encounter the peak winds until Saturday afternoon.”
