What you should do

Discussion
Low-level convergence aided by a favourable upper-level pattern is currently generating pockets of moderate to heavy showers, periods of rain and thunderstorm activity across the island. Parts of Christ Church and St. Philip have already recorded between 1 and 2 inches of rainfall today with an additional 1 and 2 inches with isolated higher amounts forecast.
