Fears are already growing over another named storm hitting Ireland, just days after Storm Dave<\/a> battered the country.<\/p>\n Ireland’s fourth named storm of the season brought gusts of up to 100km\/h<\/a> on Saturday, causing travel chaos and leaving thousands without power.<\/p>\n Now, attention is turning to the week after next, with early signals pointing to another potential storm threat.<\/p>\n Met Eireann<\/a> says low pressure and high pressure systems are likely to clash during the week of April 13 to 19. Low pressure systems bringing rain and strong winds will push in from the Atlantic, while high pressure edging in from the east could allow conditions to become more settled at times.<\/p>\n It explained: “This week will bring mixed conditions and while low pressure in the Atlantic will send in spells of rain and possibly windy weather, high pressure to the east and northeast will move closer and start to play a more dominant role over our weather, mostly likely for the second half of the week. It’s still likely to be wetter than average, but it’s likely to be milder than average.”<\/p>\n This comes as long range weather models, which are notoriously subject to change, indicate another storm system could approach Ireland around Wednesday, April 15.<\/p>\n Weather models indicate another stormy weather system is heading for Ireland(Image: WXCharts)<\/p>\n If that system strengthens as some projections suggest, it would be named Storm Eddie, becoming the fifth named storm of the season.<\/p>\n Storms are typically named when orange or red warnings are issued <\/a>for medium to high impact weather, such as strong winds, heavy rain or snow. So far this season, Ireland has experienced Storm Amy, Storm Bram, Storm Chandra and most recently Storm Dave.<\/p>\n In the meantime, Ireland can expect a mixed Easter bank holiday Monday<\/a>. The national forecaster said: “Monday will be mainly dry with a good deal of cloud. There’ll be a few sunny breaks, mainly in the east. Some patchy light rain and drizzle will occur, mainly in Atlantic coastal counties. Highest temperatures of 10C to 14C with moderate to fresh south to southeast winds, strong at times near the south-west coast.<\/p>\n “Dry and mostly clear over the eastern half of the country through Monday night. Variable cloud further west with some showery outbreaks of rain moving in towards morning. Lowest temperatures of 6C to 9C in moderate, occasionally fresh southeast winds.”<\/p>\n Looking ahead to the rest of next week, Met Eireann<\/a> said there will be spells of wet and windy weather at times, with some thundery falls possible, however there will also be some drier and sunnier interludes too.<\/p>\n Want to see more of the stories you love from the Irish Mirror?
