We're in for a rough ride.
As it stands the remnants of ex-Hurricane Ophelia are set to come close to Ireland on Monday.
And by all reports it's going to be one fierce storm.
Met Éireann has issued a status yellow weather warning, current from now until Tuesday morning.
The Met is advising to prepare for storm force winds, heavy rain and high sea levels.
Meanwhile the AA has also warned that driving conditions will be dangerous.

While we don't want to sound like doomsayers, it is always best to be prepared for the worst case scenario.
Here are a few things you should have ready on Monday, just in case:
Prepare a household disaster plan and evacuation plan.
Have a first aid kit and a torch handy.
Keep a list of emergency numbers on hand
Make sure important documents (passports and identification) as well as cash are safe in waterproof containers
Prepare a household disaster plan and evacuation plan
Have a portable mobile charger accessible
It may be a total cliche, but it really is better to be safe than sorry!
Here's hoping Ophelia passes quickly.
As if Monday's weren't bad enough already...
