Additionally, the UK Met Office have issued an office weather warning for Northern Ireland for this Friday.
Oh, the weather outside will be frightful this weekend.
Speaking to JOE, Met Éireann have stated that they may put in place an official weather warning for parts of the country later today.
As it stands, their weather watch for the next few days is as follows:
“Our weather will remain unsettled through the rest of this week, and Met Éireann forecasters have been monitoring developments for this Friday 9th November particularly closely.
“There are a number of low pressure systems or depressions dotted around the North Atlantic at present, but the one we are particularly interested in is an area of low pressure over Newfoundland in Canada which is expected to move out into the Labrador Sea tonight, Wednesday night.
“This low pressure system will travel eastwards across the Atlantic by Friday, helped by a strong jet stream which will serve to deepen the low significantly by the time it comes close to our shores.
“The (by then) deep low will travel northwards to the west of Ireland during Friday, and the associated fronts will track in over Ireland during Friday morning and afternoon bringing strong winds and heavy rain and there is potential for severe and damaging gusts, especially on coasts. There is also a risk of coastal damage due to wave overtopping, with the timing of the strongest winds coinciding with high tide on some coasts.”
Meanwhile, the UK Met Office have issued two separate weather warnings for six counties for this Friday.
The first begins at 4pm today (Thursday) until 4am on Friday morning, and is a standalone rain warning, followed by the second warning, kicking off at 1pm on Friday and holding strong until midnight, the yellow weather warning means that there is some heavy rain and strong winds expected on that day.
They have also warned that there may be some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport, as well as spray and flooding on roads. These conditions are expected to make journey times longer.
The warning is for all of Derry, Antrim, Down, Armagh, Fermanagh, and Tyrone, but from their forcast map, you can it also parts of Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Monaghan, Cavan, Leitrim, and Louth.
