Cathal Nolan, from Ireland's Weather Channel, says Leinster will bear the brunt of the storm;
"Isolated thunderstorms could develop in pretty much any part of the country however it's through the evening time we're likely to see more organised thunderstorms developing in the eastern half of the country."
