Met Éireann has issued three separate weather warnings which will affect 11 counties around the country today and tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday, March 11 and 12.
A Status Orange wind warning has been issued for Co. Donegal; issued at 1:00pm this afternoon, the alert will come into effect at 8:00am tomorrow morning and will be valid until 12:00pm tomorrow.
South-west winds veering west to north-west will reach mean wind speeds of 60 to 75kph with gusts of 100 to 120kph.
Due to a combination of waves, spring tides and surge, the possibility of coastal flooding is increased on Thursday, the meteorological office warns.
Showers will turn increasingly wintry today with a mix of hail, sleet and snow, leading to icy conditions on untreated surfaces. Some localised accumulations will occur, Met Éireann warns.
Finally, a Status Yellow wind warning has been issued for counties Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Dublin, Louth, Meath, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo and Clare.
Due to a combination of waves, spring tides and surge, the possibility of coastal flooding is increased along western and northwestern coasts tomorrow.
The warning will be valid from 4:00am in the morning through to 6:00pm tomorrow evening.
