After bearing the brunt of Storm Helene and Storm Ali in the past week, it appears Ireland is set to brace for a further two.
Storm Bronagh will travel along the Irish Sea near the southeast coast of Ireland today, while another, Storm Callum, could form this weekend.
Met Éireann confirmed a wave depression is expected to deepen and move into northern England later today and tonight.
The UK Met Office have named it Storm Bronagh.
Ireland will experience heavy and possibly thundery rain today and for a time tonight.
A Status Yellow rainfall warning has already been implemented for Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork, Tipperary and Waterford.
The weather remains changeable and disturbed for the coming weekend and there is potential for another storm to form late Saturday into Sunday. This could be the beginning of Storm Callum.
The track of the depression is uncertain at this stage and both Met Éireann and the UK Met Office are monitoring developments.
Our colleagues in the UKMO have named a low pressure system which will pass close to Ireland this evening and tonight as Storm Bronagh. For further information this storm and a possible further storm depression the weekend, please see https://t.co/mzehYiyge6 pic.twitter.com/P5vdo5oB9J
