Galway is likely to see further flooding this weekend, both coastal and rain induced, as Storm Jorge brings heavy winds and rains.
This marine alert is the latest warning issued by Met Eireann, joining a status yellow rainfall and status orange wind warning issued for Galway.
Southwest gale force 8 to strong gale force 9 winds will develop tonight on Irish Coastal Waters from Mizen Head to Slyne Head to Rossan Point.
