Met Éireann has issued a moderate weather advisory for Waterford this coming Friday.
The advisory will be in place from midnight to 2am on Friday, April 2, but stormy weather may continue into Saturday.
Potentially severe or damaging west to southwest gusts are expected.
Met Éireann say coastal flooding is likely, especially around high tide times and in exposed, low-lying locations along the Atlantic coastal counties.
High Spring Tides coinciding with storm surge and persistent onshore winds will further increase that risk.
Strong onshore winds combined with high waves may lead to wave overtopping and flooding in low-lying and exposed coastal areas.
A High Tide Advisory will be in effect from Friday to Monday, with warnings likely to be issued.
