The storm will bring a deepening low-pressure system over Ireland on Thursday night 23 January and Friday.
The national forecaster has warned of very strong to gale force winds across the country, with the potential for damaging wind gusts and disruption in places.
Transitory falls of sleet and snow are expected too, especially across west and northwest counties, as well as high seas and spells of heavy rain.
