Storm Dave: Northern Ireland Braces for Gales

0:00That wraps Europe news today brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story. Storm Dave is barreling toward Northern Ireland with the Met Office issuing a yellow warning for strong winds from 2 p.m. Saturday until 3 a.m. Sunday. This fourth-name storm of the year packs gusts up to 50 to 60 miles per hour wide spread, hitting 60 to 70 on exposed spots and possibly 70 to 80 along coasts and hills. The rainy rain starts spreading north Saturday morning, turning showery and intense by afternoon, with wintry mixes on higher ground that could slick up, roads for drivers, officials warn of travel headaches from the wind-rained combo, plus risks to buildings, power outages, and big waves making coast hazardous. Places like Silent Valley Mountain Park are shutting down all Saturday to keep folks safe. Conditions start easing early Sunday morning as the storm pushes east, leaving blustery winds and wintry showers over hills before drier spells kick, and later.

1:00Monday looks mostly dry with some sun, though Tuesday brings showers and rain by evening. Temps stay cool, dipping near freezing overnight Friday and topping around 12 degrees Celsius Saturday. Fun fact, Dave got its name from a nomination for a husband who snores out raw any gale, hitting us up for calmer vibes ahead.
