STORM FLORIS: Track the path of summer Storm Floris as Met Eireann Advisory issued

Met Éireann has issued an advisory with Storm Floris set to hit Ireland this weekend. Storm Floris was named on Friday by the UK Met Office.

Met Éireann is advising that Storm Floris will bring wet and unseasonably windy weather during Sunday night and Bank Holiday Monday. It adds that warnings will be issued on Saturday with further updates.

Met Éireann warns that some potential impacts include dangerous travelling conditions' knock on impacts for outdoor events, structural damage, fallen trees, debris and loose objects, power outages, wave overtopping and localised flooding due to leaves. 

Met Éireann adds that unseasonably impactful weather is expected for Sunday night and into Monday as a deepening low pressure system, Storm Floris, will likely track to the northwest of Ireland bringing a spell of heavy rain and very strong winds. The storm, which as of Friday afternoon had not yet formed, is expected to develop through Friday from a frontal wave, currently lying to the south of Nova Scotia.

Met Eireann says that an unusually strong Jet for the time of year will carry the system towards Ireland through the weekend, with the storm deepening rapidly. 

Storm Floris is currently expected to track to the northwest of Ireland through Sunday night and Monday morning, before tracking over Scotland before clearing into the North Sea later in the day.
