Cork City Council say they are closely monitoring developments with Storm Eunice.
Met Éireann has issued a status Orange Weather Alert for Cork from 5am until 11am tomorrow.
Severe winds are expected to bring significant disruption with gusts of up to 130km/h.
The Council say they do not expect significant flooding, however there may be some pooling on low lying areas of the city and people are being asked to secure any loose items on their property.
The Flood Assessment team are due to meet again today at 2pm.
It's the second storm in a number of days, after Storm Dudley passed over the north of the country yesterday.
Head of the National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management, Keith Leonard, says people need to plan ahead.
"There's going to be a lot of power cuts, so keep your mobile phone charged particularly if you're going out and about, have a mobile phone and don't hesitate to dial 999 or 112 for help if you need it.
"Stay away from coastal areas, and if you can delay travel until after the storm passes on Friday then do, if not then be very careful on the road."
