The end of Storm Alex will be felt across the country into the weekend as the tropical cyclone makes its way over the Atlantic.
Experts reassured the public that the eye of the storm and the worst effects associated with that will remain out at sea, with just the ‘remnants’ of it being felt here, according to Met Eireann's Siobhan Ryan.
Although some heavy showers and strong winds will make land from Friday, there will be a welcome and sunny change in conditions on Sunday before things take yet another grim turn next week.
