The counties of Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal are preparing for stormy conditions this weekend.

 

 

Met Eireann has issued a weather advisory, warning of high winds from Friday morning onwards.

 

 

Severe or damaging gusts can be expected as well as coastal flooding.

 

The forecast is predicting unsettled and mixed weather over Easter with a mobile Atlantic flow affecting Ireland.

 

It will be Windy or possibly stormy in places later Saturday with the potential for some severe or damaging west to southwest gusts.

Coastal flooding is likely, especially around high tide times and in exposed, low-lying locations along the Atlantic coastal counties.

 Strong onshore winds combined with high waves may lead to wave overtopping and flooding in low-lying and exposed coastal areas.

 

The warning will come into effect on Good Friday and will remain in place until next Tuesday.

 

Ireland Weather Channel's Cathal Nolan says the advisory is for the whole country but some places may escape the worst of the weather:
