Possible Impacts
Key Message: Possible moderate to significant:- Soil erosion on bared or scarred land surfaces. Water settlements on roads and fields which may lead to commuting delays and possible isolated diversions in and out of city. Increases in water levels of existing water bodies (e.g ponds etc.). Marginally invasive excess water on roads, fields, storm drains/water canals and on property.

What you should do
The public is encouraged to monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media pages along with the local media networks for further updates.
Discussion
A tropical wave aided by a favourable upper-level pattern is currently generating pockets of showers, periods of rain, thunderstorm activity and gusty winds. Given that 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, with isolated higher amounts, is likely today and tonight, the BMS has issued a flash-flood watch.
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 10.45 am Sunday 13th October, 2024 and will be updated at 6pm or sooner if conditions warrant.
