Speaking to RTÉ, chairman of the National Emergency Co-ordination Group said Storm Éowyn would "probably be among the severest storms" Ireland had ever seen. Similarly to Northern Ireland, all schools have been told to close. The biggest disruption so far confirmed for Storm Éowyn is that all schools will be closed in Northern Ireland on Friday.

Multiple warnings have been issued across Northern Ireland as Storm Éowyn makes its way. The storm is expected to bring possible damage and disruption to parts of Ireland and the UK as it tracks east from the Atlantic.

Storm Éowyn will bring multiple hazards on Friday and into the weekend with damaging winds the primary concern.
