Met Eireann said that the northwesterly winds will bring “violent gusts” up to 150km/h between 8pm and 11pm this Friday.
While the strong gusts are expected to hit the west coast, including Galway, Kerry and Clare, Met Eireann says Limerick will not be as badly affected as its neighbouring counties.
Head of forecasting, Evelyn Cusack told the Limerick Leader that she “does not envisage” that Limerick will see a similar Status Red warning this Friday evening.
