A weather warning issued for Donegal on Sunday afternoon has been extended.<\/p>\n
Met \u00c9ireann are warning that conditions are expected to be very windy, with strong and gusty southwest winds.<\/p>\n
Potential impacts and threats include some wave overtopping in coastal areas, loose objects being displaced, the potential for fallen trees and branches and difficult travelling conditions on the roads.<\/p>\n
The warning will come into effect at 4pm on Sunday afternoon, and has now been extended until midnight that night.<\/p>\n
It is also in effect in ten other counties, including: Clare, Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo, Wexford and Wicklow.<\/p>\n
Drivers are still being urged to be cautious on the roads this Saturday evening, as black ice is still present on many roads, including most minor and untreated routes.<\/p>\n
However, temperatures are set to rise compared to previous days according to the national weather forecaster.<\/p>\n
Overnight lows will be between 2 and 5 degrees overnight tonight, with highs reaching between 9 and 12 degrees tomorrow.<\/p>\n
