Weather alert, Ireland, Sunday 9th and Monday 10th March 2008.

Check the stakes on your trees and secure or bring in garden breakables, just in case the following forecast comes to pass

Winds will back southerly and increase on Sunday evening, and it'll become stormy during Sunday night.
Winds will gust well over 100 km/h and, together with the very strong winds, some heavy rain is expected.
The stormy, wet weather will continue through Monday, the storms perhaps abating for a time before returning as winds swing westerly. Some area may receive as much as 20-30mm of rain through this stormy period.
The storm will finally die down during the first half of Tuesday; the rain breaking up into showers at that stage as winds settle back to the southwest.
