Storm Eunice is set to hit Irish shores tomorrow. 

A Status Red Wind warning has been issued for those in Cork and Kerry.

It'll come into effect at 3 am tomorrow (Friday) and run until 11 am.

Met Éireann says to expect 'severe and damaging winds' as a result.

Gusts could reach more than 130 km/h in coastal areas.

Schools will close in Cork and Kerry as a precaution.

For counties outside of Cork and Kerry, the rest of Munster will be under an Orange wind warning.

It'll be in place for the same period, from 3 am to 11 am tomorrow (Friday).

Coastal flooding could be an issue at high tide in some areas, according to Met Éireann.

The rest of the country will fall under a Status Yellow Wind, Rain and Snow warning.
