Met Éireann lifted its orange warning for the west and north at 1pm Wednesday, and has confirmed to the Irish Farmers Journal that a lower-level nationwide yellow warning is on course to expire at 5pm.

143 Mace Head (Galway) 124 Newport (Mayo) 107 Belmullet 106 Claremorris 106 Valentia 104 Roches Point (Cork) 96 Athenry
In Northern Ireland, an amber warning remains in place until 6pm as Storm Ali tracks northeastwards. The warning is expected to be downgraded to status yellow until 10pm.
Aisling Butler, forecaster with Met Éireann, said conditions remain blustery and fresh, but the damaging gusts have moved away.
“Wind wise, tomorrow [Thursday], it looks like there will be light to fresh breezes, but there will be widespread heavy rain from the afternoon through the evening. Conditions are likely to worsen as the day goes on,” she said.
There is a risk of spot flooding in Munster and south Leinster. Around 15mm of rain is forecast at the site of the National Ploughing Championships in Screggan, Co Offaly from 2pm on Wednesday.
The outlook for the rest of this week is mixed, with strong winds and heavy rain forecast at times.
