Met Eireann have issued a Status Yellow wind warning for four counties as "severe" gusts are possible this weekend.
The alert is in place for Donegal, Galway, Mayo and Kerry from 3pm until 11pm on Sunday.
It reads: "Very windy Sunday afternoon, evening and for a time on Sunday night (southerly winds veering westerly later). Some severe gusts are possible and this may lead to some fallen trees."
It comes as this weekend will see plenty of rain with the west of the country seeing the worst of the outbreaks.
A "westerly airflow" will dominate our weather over the next week as the spell of low pressure moves across the country.
A forecaster said: "Tomorrow will be a dull and cloudy day with outbreaks of rain, heavy at times over the northern half of the country. Drier, clearer weather will follow into Connacht and Ulster through the evening. Noticeably milder with highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in moderate to fresh southwest winds.
"Early on Saturday night, rain and drizzle will become confined to southern coastal areas. There will be some clear spells over the northern half of the country. Rain in the south will move northwards over Munster towards morning. Lowest temperatures of 4 to 8 degrees with light westerly breezes backing southerly.
"On Sunday morning rain and drizzle will spread northwards. The rest of the day will be mostly cloudy and breezy with patchy outbreaks of rain in most areas, heaviest in the west. It will be mild with afternoon temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees but breezy with winds increasing strong to gale force in the west and northwest later with the risk of severe winds near to the coast."
However there is some better news on the horizon as a high pressure system moves in from the middle of December onwards.
And for Christmas Day itself it is currently expected to be "dry and settled" - with virtually no chance of snow.

Here is Met Eireann's full long-range forecast:
Week 1 (Friday 10 December to Thursday 16 December)
Ireland will lie in a predominantly westerly airflow during the period, with low pressure to our northwest acting as the main driver of our weather. This will bring generally unsettled conditions, as this area of low pressure steers frontal systems and showers across the country. This will introduce a milder airmass from the south at times, leading to slightly higher than average temperatures across the country. However, fronts crossing the country will bring breezy conditions and heavy rain at times and so rainfall will be above normal in all areas, particularly across the western half of the country.
Week 2 (Friday 17 December to Thursday 23 December)
High pressure will come to dominate our weather in the second week of the period, bringing more settled conditions. This week will be much drier than the last as rainfall totals will be below normal in all areas. Temperatures will also remain slightly above normal. No hazardous weather is expected.
Week 3 (Friday 24 December to Thursday 30 December
Though the signal for this period is slightly weaker, indications suggest that high pressure will remain dominant over the country which will keep conditions dry and settled overall. Rainfall totals will be slightly lower than average and temperatures will return to around normal for the end of December. As a result, there is potential for some frost by night but otherwise no hazardous weather is expected.
Week 4 (Friday 31 December to Thursday 06 January)
Indications for the first week of 2022 suggest that conditions will remain largely settled as high pressure maintains its dominance over Ireland. Temperatures will be close to normal or slightly above and rainfall amounts will be around average, though some parts of the country may be slightly drier.
