Met Éireann has issued a weather advisory for the upcoming bank holiday weekend.

The national forecaster has predicted high winds, coastal flooding and high tides in Cork from 2am Friday April 3rd until 1.30pm Saturday April 4th

The list of the affected regions include Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny, Leitrim, Laois, Limerick, Longford, Louth, Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, Offaly, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath, Wexford, and Wicklow

The forecast is unsettled and mixed over Easter with a mobile Atlantic flow affecting Ireland.

It will be windy or possibly stormy in places later Saturday.

Met Éireann has said there will be potential for some severe or damaging west to southwest gusts.

Coastal flooding is likely, especially around high tide times and in exposed, low-lying locations along the Atlantic coastal counties.

Spring tides coinciding with storm surge and persistent onshore winds will further increase the risk of coastal flooding.

Areas along the west and north coasts are particularly vulnerable.

Strong onshore winds combined with high waves may lead to wave overtopping and flooding in low-lying and exposed coastal areas.

A High Tide Advisory will come into effect from Friday to Monday.

Warnings are likely to be issued in the coming days.
