Weather warnings could be issued for Sunday

Met Éireann has warned that there could be a potential named storm on the way this weekend.

Met Eireann expects wind warnings to be issued for Saturday night and Sunday - as a weather system heads for Ireland. Its issued a weather advisory for wind, as well as coastal flooding - due to what's described as 'exceptionally high supermoon spring tides'.

It will be a good start to the weekend as Saturday will be a mainly dry and bright day with sunny spells and well scattered showers. However, there will be some rain developing in the evening and by overnight it will turn wet and windy with strong and gusty southerly winds and widespread rain.
