The latest storm bound for Ireland has been officially named. 

On Thursday night and Friday, a deepening Low-Pressure system, Storm ÉOWYN (AY-OH-WIN), is forecast to track across Ireland. 

Very strong to gale force winds are expected across the country with the potential for damaging wind gusts and disruption in places. Transitory falls of sleet and snow are expected too, especially across west and northwest counties. High seas and spells of heavy rain are expected also.

Met Éireann is continuously monitoring the evolving situation and weather warnings will be issued as confidence in the forecast track/intensity of the Low-Pressure system improves.
