00:00Ireland, brace yourself. Storm Amy is here, and she's not alone.
00:04Hurricane Humberto is charging in right behind her.
00:07Met Arion has just named Storm Amy, the first storm of the season,
00:11and issued a status yellow wind warning nationwide, along with a rain alert for 14 counties.
00:17The rain hits first, starting Thursday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
00:21with heavy downpours across Connacht, Munster, Donegal, Longford, and Cavan.
00:25But the real punch comes Friday.
00:28Strong, gusty southwesterly winds will sweep the country from noon until midnight Saturday,
00:32while Hurricane Humberto, now a Category 4, looms offshore.
00:36It's slowed for now, but the jet stream is about to reignite it.
00:40That means stormy conditions, possible gale force winds, and localized flooding.
00:44By Friday, the entire country could be under sheets of rain and wind, especially the West Coast.
00:50Temperatures will range from 15 to 19 degrees, but bundle up.
00:54A chilly weekend is coming, so get ready.
00:56This isn't just wind and rain.
00:58It's the chaotic clash of Storm Amy and Hurricane Humberto.
01:02Stay safe, stay informed, and don't forget to tie everything down.
