They listed possible impacts as "localised flooding, poor road conditions and fallen trees or branches."

Met Éireann continues to monitor the situation and said "further updates to this advisory will follow on Sunday, November 12."

The advisory in its current form is valid from 11pm on Sunday until 1pm on Monday.

Meanwhile, Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather posted weather model graphics and pointed to the "interesting little feature on some weather models for Sunday night."

He said the models bring them them "a risk of some strong winds."

"However, some models don’t develop it all so will be interesting to see how this develops over next 36 hours weather models updates," he added.
