It'll come into effect for Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo, Galway and Clare at 2pm, as Storm Amy makes landfall.
A status yellow wind warning will be in place for the rest of the country, including Kildare from midday, while a status yellow rain alert for Galway and Kerry is already in place.
Schools have been closed in some parts of the North, with various amber and yellow alerts issued by the UK Met Office.
12 flights have been cancelled at Dublin Airport as Storm Amy makes landfall.
The daa says the storm is already causing disruption to flight operations around Ireland and the UK.
Six inbound and six outbound flights have already been cancelled this morning, and the airport operator says further delays and cancellations are possible as wind speeds are due to increase in the Dublin area.
Passengers due to fly later today are being advised to keep in touch with their airline for updates.
