Storm Dave Brings Yellow Warnings, Flooding Risks

0:00On April 4th, Storm Dave is barreling into Ireland right now, bringing a nationwide status yellow wind warning from 1 p.m. until 2 a.m. Met Ariane says, expect very strong southerly winds shifting westerly by evening, with severe gusts and coastal gales wiving up trouble across the board. Meanwhile, a status yellow rain warning hit Donogall in Mayo at 8 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. with risks of localized flooding and poor visibility. Moving to the mix, impacts could include fallen trees and branches blocking roads, waves crashing over coastal spots, tough driving conditions, and debris flying everywhere. So folks need to secure loose items and plan ahead. Rain and drizzle are pushing north through the morning, maybe some sleet or snow on Ulster Hills early, then heavier stuff spreading east in the afternoon, upping spot flooding chances. Tems topping out at 9 to 12 or 13 degrees Celsius, so bundle up as this stormy ride plays out overnight.
