A combined yellow wind, rain and snow warning issued for Friday could be upgraded to orange, according to Met Eireann.
It comes as a yellow wind warning is now in place for the whole country, as the first of two named storms hits Ireland.
Storm Dudley has made landfall in Ireland, with a yellow wind warning in place until half 11 tonight.
Met Eireann's Emer Flood says it doesn't look like the storm will be as bad as initially expected, but it will still be quite windy.
#StormDudley will continue to bring strong and gusty winds today, especially across western areas with flooding possibly on Atlantic coasts.
Heavy rain may also lead to spot flooding.

However there is more concern for the arrival of Storm Eunice on Friday.
A yellow wind, rain and snow warning will come into place at 1am until 3pm that afternoon.
If the storm tracks further north, then it could lead to much stronger winds.
#StormEunice may bring challenging and disruptive conditions on Friday due to strong winds, heavy rain and snow.
