Storm Leslie has become a hurricane since Wednesday morning and could be propelled by strong winds and winter showers later this month in Ireland.
The unstable front will arrive at the same time as Ireland is hit by plunging temperatures.
Meteorologist John Eagleton at Met Eireann told the Irish Mirror that the hurricane was heading for Ireland. However, he said that we do not know how much this could affect the country.
He said: "Lelsie is currently horizontal with us in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
"It seems that this comes in our direction and that it should be located between Iceland and Ireland in 10 days, as its aspiration by the jetstream."
The tropical storm is currently strengthening in the center of the Atlantic seaboard and it is expected that the hurricane will become more powerful the hurricane on Thursday.
Met Eireann predicts that the first days of next week will bring uncertain weather conditions.
It is understood that Ireland will have the end of the deadly wind of the hurricane, but it will not be directly in our region.
A forecaster said, "It does not seem like it's going to happen in Ireland.
"Looking at the graphs, it looks like it's going to cross the South Atlantic."
Hurricane Leslie has deviated considerably to the east and is expected to reach northern Europe by the end of next week.
A forecaster from Met Eireann said: "A jet stream will develop over Ireland over the next week, which will result in rainy and windy conditions at times."
The Met Office's chief meteorologist, Andy Page, said, "Leslie is likely to turn into a hurricane as he moves on warmer waters with large swells affecting Bermuda and the US east coast. and the Caribbean.
"It is likely that eventually he will falter and head east across the North Atlantic."
A spokesman for the US National Hurricane Center warned that the storm would bring a huge swell of sea to Bermuda and the Bahamas before changing direction on a new route heading north to Europe.
He said, "The heavy swells generated by Leslie will continue to affect parts of the US southeast coast, Bermuda, the Bahamas and most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles for another day or two.
"These swells could cause threatening surf and tear currents for life."
