MET Eireann has extended its status yellow warning for Limerick tomorrow, with wind and rain expected to hit the county.

The caution was in place from 9am tomorrow morning for 24 hours.

However, the forecaster has now moved to bring the start of the warning forward to five o'clock in the morning. It is still due to expire on Monday at 9am.

The notice- also in place for Clare, Cork and Kerry - warns of very strong southwesterly winds.

Some severe gusts are expected tomorrow morning, veering west to northwest on Sunday afternoon through early Monday morning.

Strong winds, surges and large waves may lead to wave overtopping particularly at times of high water, and coastal flooding is possible, Met Eireann added.
