The Orange wind warning comes into effect at 2am Friday morning until 5pm Friday evening, with the potential for fallen trees, damage to power lines and power outages, structural damage and very difficult travelling conditions.
Carlow Weather’s Alan O’Reilly says the storm could be as bad as Storm Ophelia in 2017.
