Met Éireann have issued a red alert for exposed and mountain areas of Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick and Kerry where winds are expected to reach between 130-150km/h tonight.

The red alert will come into place tonight at 9pm and is in place until midday tomorrow. However, alerts have also been issued for other areas of the country with an orange alert being issued for the rest of Ireland and a yellow rainfall alert in place for Connaught, Donegal, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick.

The National Emergency Committee have advised people on the west coast to stay indoors and avoid travel if possible and to stay clear of waterways and cliff walks.

With things expected to be particularly bad in Kerry, schools are set to remain closed with The Department of Education advising similar areas on red alert to do the same. 

Storm Rachel is well on her way following the snowy night seen in much of the country so stay indoors and be careful when out and about! 

#StormRachel has already begun to trend on Twitter with many people tweeting about the bad weather – and there's only more to come!

Stay safe everyone!

There was disappointment for footballer Stephanie Roche earlier this evening as she lost out on FIFA’s Goal of the Year to James Rodriguez.

Stephanie attended the Ballon d’Or ceremony today where it was revealed she had gained 33% of the votes while James received 42% and the final 11% going to Robin Van Persie.

Last week it was revealed that the footballer had made the decision to leave Albi, her French club and returned home to Ireland. 

Despite the disappointing outcome of the awards ceremony for Stephanie, her goal against Wexford Youths back in 2013 will remain a thing of legend for some time to come! Here’s a reminder:

She may not have won the award, but something tells us this is just the beginning for Stephanie!

Over the last few days, an appeal to superstar Ed Sheeran to visit and sing for Dayna Kearney has gone viral. Dayna was the sole survivor of the Athy car crash that claimed the lives of her four best friends;  Gemma Nolan, Chermaine Carroll, Niamh Doyle and Ashling Middleton.

Dayna’s friends and now countless others, have set up an appeal to Ed Sheeran to visit Dayna as she is a huge fan of his and attended one of his last concerts in Ireland with her friend, Chermaine, who lost her life in the crash. The Facebook page has gained massive attention and now has almost 32,000 likes and rising.

#singfordayna has been trending in Ireland for the last few days as Dayna's friends and many more try to get Ed's attention to the appeal. 

As Ed is due to play a gig in Whelan’s at the end of the month, there is a chance the appeal could have a successful ending.

Ladies, it’s not time to pack away that winter coat yet! If you thought we had escaped a somewhat mild winter, then Met Éireann are here to let you know it's not over yet! 

In rather alarming weather news, Met Éireann have issued a yellow alert for Waterford, Monaghan and Leinster between the hours of 6pm today and 8am on Wednesday. Met Éireann have warned that up to 3cm of snow could fall in places over the following days and that temperatures will be freezing, describing lows of -2 to +2 degrees on their official Twitter page.

It wouldn't be the first time snow has fallen in January, indeed a lot of you may remember a very white March we had a few years ago!

There is a very exciting line-up for tonight’s Graham Norton show as Filth star, James McAvoy, Mark Ruffalo and acting legend Meryl Streep sit on the couch.

But that’s not all…Hozier is going to be there! The Wicklow singer will perform on the chat show and then presumably sit down for a chat before the red chair (our favourite bit).

Graham tweeted the line-up an hour ago, asking followers to vote for him at the National TV Awards in exchange for some an awesome guest list: “Not begging more a bargain. Vote and see Meryl Streep, James McAvoy, Mark Ruffalo & Hozier on my show tonight. Deal?”

It's most definitely a deal, Graham! 

Tune into BBC tonight at 10.35pm.

It has been reported that Hollywood actor George Clooney in coming to Ireland on his holliers, ladies! George is said to be planning an Irish break with his new wife, Amal Alamuddin in the summer.

According to reports, George has never visited Ireland in the true sense, unlike Amal who is said to have been here quite a bit.

We’re sure they can get lots of tips from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West who spent a portion of their honeymoon here last summer. The couple stayed at various luxury resorts in Ireland, including Ballyfin House in Laois and were spotted twice at Portlaoise cinema.

Although we have a feeling George Clooney will have a lot more planned that the cinema when he makes his trip here! We can't wait to see him swap that Nespresso for a Guinness…

Irish mammies don't like a hot humid summer. They also don't like a freezing cold winter – like this one!

Here are some things you will definitely hear from your mammy this winter: 

1. “You know something, I’d say it will snow tonight now”
Says every Irish mammy every night of December. The two times they are right they proclaim: "Now, what did I say." And it isn't a question. 

2. “The roads are TRECHEROUS”
And they probably are, in fairness. 

3. “You can’t go out in that you will PERISH”
She's right, you will. Put a coat on for feck's sake!

4. “The heating on and every door and window open…typical”
You can just hear the disappointment in her voice.  

5. “Keep an eye on that fire now while I'm gone – not too much turf mind”
This is a BIG responsibility – so don't mess it up. 

6. “It’s too cold to snow”
Is that even possible? 

7. “It. Is. BALTIC, help me inside with these messages!”
Sure is, mammy. Ok mammy. 

8. "Sure at least it's not as cold as 2010. Ah, The Big Freeze" 
The memories come flooding back…it's horrific. They say it may happen again, you know…

9. "Run the taps there for a while so they don't freeze over"
The most annoying job EVER. Fact.

Every girl around the world is moved by The Notebook and the romantic story of Ali and Noah. Most guys are too, even if they don’t admit it…

Now, an Irish version of The Notebook couple have been found and it is that bit more special. In TV3’s Home from Home series, Mary Coleman is moved into the Glanaulin Nursing Home in Dublin after she develops dementia and could no longer live at home. 

Her husband, Frank used to visit her every single day before moving into the home himself under doctors’ advice. Frank spoke about his sadness when Mary had to leave him to go to Glenaulin: “I used to bring her up to the doctor, he told me she was sick, the old Alzheimer’s. I didn’t notice it. She must have had it when she was with me in the house. I didn’t notice. I didn’t know what it was. They told me she was sick and then I felt sad over that and she had to go into the home.”

Now, Frank lives with Mary in the home though he still maintains his old lifestyle as he often goes to meet friend for a pint in his local. 

Frank says that he often talks to Mary about their life together, and especially about the time he proposed to her in Phoenix Park. The dedicated husband also says that he would like to go first: “If anything happens, I’d like to go first, not Mary, because if she goes it would break my heart, it really would.”

Frank and Mary’s story will air on TV3 on New Year’s Eve.

A family from Carrickmacross in Monaghan are appealing for the return of a laptop that was stolen from a car in Bayside, Dublin, between 3:40pm and 3:50pm yesterday. However, it isn’t the laptop that the family care about, but what was with it. 

The computer bag also contained a red hard-drive full of images of Hannah Smyth and her husband’s twin boys, Laughlin and Ethan, who passed away almost a year ago on December 5th and 11th, respectively.

There are precious family photos that the Smyth family would love to be returned, especially ones of the twins with their older brother Cooper, who is now two-years-old. As the two boys were unwell in the NICU, little Cooper was allowed in to take a photo with his brothers, and his mum explained to Ray D'Arcy this morning about the importance of being able to show Cooper his brothers when he is older. 

Hannah spoke a little about the the hard-drive's physical appearance and the importance of its return on Today FM earlier this morning: “It’s called a MyPassport and it’s a rectangle, about 4×3 inches … tomorrow is Laughlin’s first anniversary."

Police have been informed, but Ray urged those in the Sutton area to keep their eyes open for the hard-drive, as it would mean so much to the family to get the images of their precious sons back. Let's hope the public can pull together and find it for the Smyth family before Christmas.
