The fifth named storm of the season is to batter the country later this evening and early on Wednesday, according to the Met Office.
Forecasters from the weather service have issued several severe weather warnings, and warned it could be life-threatening.
On its site, the warning reads: "A spell of strong winds is expected later Tuesday, overnight into Wednesday morning.
"Combined with a period of high tides, it is likely that some western coastal communities will be affected by large waves and spray, and there is a small chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown on to sea fronts, roads and coastal properties.
"Power cuts and disruption to other services (mobile phones for example) may occur, and there is a small chance of transport disruption or cancellation of public transport."

The office added that the powerful winds are due to strike at around 6pm through to 8am tomorrow.
It also warned that homes and roads on the western and southern coasts will be vulnerable to high waves that throw beach material onto sea fronts.
Met Office chief forecaster, Paul Gundersen, said: "The unsettled theme continues throughout this week, with further spells of rain moving across the UK from the west as many return to work on Tuesday and there will again be some snow over the high ground in Scotland.
"The wind will pick up again later on Tuesday and Wednesday as developing Storm Eleanor heads towards the UK and Ireland."
