Storm Alex fears as remnants may hit Ireland later this week amid washout Met Eireann forecast

Ireland may potentially be hit with a storm this week as remnants of tropical Storm Alex hit the country.

Met Eireann has forecast washout weather this week, describing conditions as "quite unsettled" and "wet and blustery".

Weather expert Alan O’Reilly gave an update on Storm Alex on his Carlow Weather Twitter page earlier today.

He wrote: "Still a lot of uncertainty around potential storm Thursday into Friday which includes the remnants of Tropical Storm Alex. Most models keep it out West but could still bring some strong winds Friday."

Here's Met Eireann's forecast for the coming days:

Tomorrow

"Sunny spells and scattered showers early on Tuesday. Rain will gradually extend from the southwest later in the afternoon to become widespread by evening.

"Highest temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees, best values across Ulster, in light to moderate southeasterly breezes.

Wednesday

"Any lingering rain will clear the northeast early in the morning leaving sunny spells and scattered showers, some of which will be heavy with the chance of a few isolated thunderstorms.

"Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees, mildest in the east, in moderate westerly winds.

Thursday

"Mostly cloudy and becoming windy with outbreaks of rain extending across the country from the Atlantic. The rain will become persistent for a time especially in the west.

"A clearance to sunny spells will follow by evening but it will remain quite windy. Highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees in fresh and blustery south to southwest winds.

Friday

"Sunny spells and scattered showers, heaviest in the west. Highest temperatures of 14 to 19 degrees in fresh and gusty southwest winds."
