Storm alert: Council urges vigilance 25.01.14

DONEGAL County Council has received notice of potentially extreme weather conditions this weekend. An Atlantic storm depression will develop in mid Atlantic on Saturday and is likely to track north-eastwards across the Atlantic and will pass the North West of Ireland during Sunday. The exact track is still not certain. There is potential that some severe southwest to westerly winds will develop on the Atlantic Seaboard during Sunday, on Sunday night and early Monday. There is potential for some very high waves from Sunday afternoon onwards.
