Discussion
Unstable conditions and light winds along with daytime heating could trigger between 1 to 3 inches of rainfall and thunderstorm activity this afternoon. Hence the Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) has issued a Flash Flood Watch. Instability is expected to persist into the night across the island therefore occasional showers are expected during that time.
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 today 7th October 2024 and will be terminated/updated at 6 pm 7th October 2024 or sooner if conditions warrant.
