Storm Dave, which has formed in the Atlantic, is expected to hit the southwest and southern counties of Ireland from about 1pm on Saturday before moving in a northeasterly direction. It will bring some heavy rainfall and, with high spring tides and strong winds, Met Éireann is warning that coastal flooding and some spot inland floods are probable. A second band of winds forming around Iceland is expected to sweep down over the country on Monday though not with storm severity.
