Storm Jake is on the way.
The weather has been exceptionally mild of late, with the odd glimpse of sunshine, but that's going to change for the next couple of days.
According to national forecaster
Met Éireann, 'hail, thunder and gale force winds' are expected later tonight with hilly, mountainous areas likely to be the worst affected.
Strong, gusty winds will continue into tomorrow accompanied by 'heavy, blustery and wintry' showers which could potentially turn to 'hail' later on.
An Orange Weather Wind Warning has been issued for Galway, Mayo, Clare, Kerry, Limerick and Waterford and it's in place until 8am tomorrow morning.
There's also a risk of snow and ice in Connacht, Donegal, Monaghan and parts of Leinster with the Road Safety Authority
urging drivers to remain vigilant at all times.
