The public is being warned the yellow and orange weather warnings for Storm Ashley this weekend could change as it travels over the Atlantic.
At the moment, Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal will be under a yellow warning while Mayo and Galway have been issued an orange alert.
Met Eireann has issued warnings of coastal flooding, difficult driving conditions, damage to power lines and fallen trees as possible impacts of the strong winds coming.
The forecaster has issued a 14 hour weather warning beginning at 10 am on Sunday, first arriving on the West coast.
Joanna Donnelly, meteorologist with Met Eireann, says the current warnings could still be upgraded.
