Good morning, folks!
It's going to be a windy morning with strong to near gale-force winds and "severe gusts" as we come to the end of Storm Franklin.
There is a Status Yellow wind warning for Ireland in place until 9am.
A Met Eireann forecaster warned: "Storm Franklin will cause very strong winds with severe and damaging gusts.
"These winds combined with very high seas will lead to wave overtopping along Atlantic coasts, which may result in coastal flooding."
However, the unsettled conditions are here to stay with Met Eireann warning of rain, sleet, and snow with temperatures plummeting to subzero this week.
The wet and windy weather will ease through the morning with bright and dry conditions developing.
It'll be milder than usual with the highest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees.
A band of "heavier and persistent" rain is set to dominate later tonight as temperatures will drop to the lows of 4 to 8 degrees.
Tomorrow will see another wet start to the day but the rain will clear eastwards, followed by sunny spells and scattered showers, with the chance of sleet on high ground in the northwest.
However, it'll turn dry elsewhere in the evening.
Temperatures will range between 5 and 9 degrees.
