The UK Met Office issued a Status Yellow wind warning for counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry.
The alert came into effect at 2pm and will remain in place until 3am tomorrow.
It said the storm will bring a spell of very strong winds into tomorrow morning, which may cause some damage and travel disruption.
The Road Safety Authority said the control of a vehicle may be affected by strong cross winds while high-sided vehicles and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to strong winds.
It also said that drivers should allow extra space between themselves and vulnerable road users such as cyclists and motorcyclists as they may be blown off course by strong winds.
"Expect the unexpected," the authority said in a statement.
Storm Dave is the fourth named storm of the season, from a list of 21 names chosen by the Irish, UK and Dutch national weather services.
