Met Eireann has said that it will issue extra weather warnings on Wednesday morning as it continues to track ex-Hurricane Storm Lorenzo.
There is a currently a weather advisory in place for Ireland which states that "there is a high probability that Storm Lorenzo will track close to or over Ireland later on Thursday and early Friday, giving high seas, severe winds and heavy rain.
Met Eireann added that weather warnings will be issued sometime on Wednesday morning.
Midland Weather Channel has said that "red and orange warnings are likely for Ireland" ahead of the arrival of the beast.
They added that it will create a significant risk of coastal flooding as well as phenomenal sea swells and waves.
Cathal Nolan from the channel has said that coastal areas of the west may reach in excess of 140hm/h which would warrant a status red warning in some counties.
He added: "Though Lorenzo won’t be a hurricane when it makes landfall in Ireland it will remain a significant storm event which poses a threat to life."
Wednesday in Dublin will see early patches of frost and fog but that will clear in the morning to leave a dry day with sunny spells.
Temperatures will reach highs of 14C but that will drop to around 5C on Wednesday night as outer rain-bands associated with Storm Lorenzo move in.
Speaking further about Storm Lorenzo, Met Eireann said: "The centre of Storm Lorenzo will move east to southeastwards over Ireland on Thursday night with the strongest winds situated to the south of the storm centre.
"It will become very windy or stormy in Atlantic coastal counties overnight as winds veer westerly in direction. The swathe of strong winds will then transfer eastwards across the country during the night with the risk of inland gales across parts of Connacht and Munster.
"Squally bands of rain will accompany the strong winds with isolated thunderstorms possible, bringing a risk of spot flooding."
