Status yellow wind warnings have also been issued for the entire country ahead of the storm's arrival.
People are being advised to drive with extra care and watch out for windblown debris.
Brian Farrell from the Road Safety Authority says people need to take care.
"What we really do need to be aware of in such conditions is the danger of being blown off course, and potentially into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
"That's why we'd also ask drivers to be aware of these conditions (and) the challenges vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians and motorcyclists will face in these conditions.
"And I suppose just to slow down - so that you are able to react in an emergency".
