It is predicted that Storm Elin will generate gale force west to north-west winds and severe gusts, causing disruption and travelling difficulties on Saturday. Yellow wind warnings have also been issued for Clare, Tipperary, Cavan, and Monaghan. Yellow warnings for rain indicate heavy rain will give a risk of localised flooding and some travel disruption on Saturday.
