Discussion
As a tropical wave affects the island overnight rainfall accumulations reaching up to 30 mm from occasionally cloudy skies are anticipated across the island. Due to the already saturated nature of the environment any additional rainfall throughout the night is likely to generate flooding in flood-prone areas. Therefore, the Barbados Meteorological Services has issued a flood watch overnight.
General Information
A flood watch is issued when heavy or excessive rainfall could result in flooding within the watch area. It does not mean that flooding will occur, but it is possible.
This Flood Watch is valid from 6:00 pm Wednesday 25th September and will be terminated at 6:00 am Thursday 26th September or sooner if conditions warrant.
