Storm Dudley is set to hit land overnight - with Ireland bracing itself for "damaging" winds mixed in with heavy rain showers.
A yellow craft warning is already in effect on Tuesday as gusts are to reach gale force 8, but that's only the start of it in terms of wild weather.
On Wednesday morning, westerly winds associated with Storm Dudley will reach mean speeds of 50 – 65km/h with damaging gusts of 80 – 110km/h, stronger on exposed coasts and on high ground.
