What you should do

Discussion
Surface to mid level troughing is affecting the island while an upper-level diffluent pattern enhances the associated convection. As a result, alongside cloudy skies and the possibility of thunderstorms, rainfall accumulations of 1 to 2 inches, in moderate to heavy showers, are likely.
General Information
A flash-flood watch is issued when heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time (generally less than 6 hours) could result in flash flooding within the watch area. It does not mean that flooding will occur, but it is possible. This Flash-Flood Watch was issued at 10:30am November 10th, 2024 and will be updated/terminated at 6:00pm or sooner if conditions warrant.
