Speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne, Met Éireann meteorologist Brandon Creagh said is it to be expected that Atlantic coastal counties will be the first to bear the brunt of the storm.
He also said the west of the country would get some heavy onshore waves, which could cause coastal flooding.
