"The now Category 4 Hurricane Humberto is currently tracking northeastwards from the southeast coast of America towards Ireland at around 130km/h, but is expected to slow significantly before reaching our shores. However, weather models say it will become re-energised by the jet stream - a fast-flowing current of air above the North Atlantic - which will bring stormy conditions from Friday morning until late evening."
"The rain warning applies to Donegal, Longford, Cavan and the provinces of Connacht and Munster and will be valid from 6am to 8pm on Thursday. The wind warning, covering the whole country, will come into effect at 12pm on Friday and be valid until midnight on Saturday. Storm Amy will bring strong to near gale force and gusty southwesterly winds."
"Tomorrow will be wet and blustery with the possibility of localised flooding, Met Éireann said. Winds will build along the coasts with highest temperatures of 13C to 17C. Friday will see heavy rain and wind spreading northeast through the morning. Gale force winds will be possible along the west coast. Heavy rain will ease to lighter rain by the evening, with highest temperatures of 15C to 19C. Friday night will still be windy, particularly in western counties, with long spells of rain."

A nationwide wind warning runs from 12pm on Friday until midnight on Saturday, with Storm Amy bringing strong to near-gale southwesterly gusts. Category 4 Hurricane Humberto is tracking northeast at around 130km/h and is expected to slow before reaching Ireland but likely to be re-energised by the jet stream, producing stormy conditions Friday. Expect heavy rain, possible localised flooding, building coastal winds and gale-force gusts in the west. Temperatures range roughly 9C to 19C across the period.
