"Met Éireann has issued a Status Orange rain warning for Co Kerry, with the storm due to batter the west coast. The warning came into force at 6am today and will remain in place until 8pm. Storm Amy will bring very ­difficult travel conditions and is expected to cause flooding in Kerry, with the potential for further localised flooding in other counties."
"Status Yellow rain warnings are also now in place for Cavan, Donegal and Longford, as well as all of Munster and Connacht, and will run until 8pm today. Separately, the entire country will be under a Status Yellow wind warning from 12pm tomorrow until 12am on Saturday. The latest track shows the centre of the front missing Ireland as it heads towards Scandinavia, but there are concerns that it will pass close enough to Ireland's north-west coast to ­bring damaging gale-force winds."
Met Éireann issued a Status Orange rain warning for County Kerry from 6am until 8pm as Storm Amy approaches the west coast. The storm is expected to bring difficult travel conditions, fallen trees, debris and localised flooding in Kerry and potentially in other counties. Local schools will decide on postponements or delayed openings and school-bus operations. Gardaí urged people to exercise extreme care. Status Yellow rain warnings cover Cavan, Donegal, Longford, all of Munster and Connacht until 8pm, and a nationwide Status Yellow wind warning will run 12pm tomorrow to midnight Saturday. The storm track may pass close enough to generate damaging gale-force winds.
