Discussion
A trough system is affecting the island and mostly cloudy to overcast skies, heavy to intense showers and thunderstorm activity are possible. Due to already saturated nature of the earth and rainfall accumulations between 1 and 2 inches expected, the BMS has issued a flash-flood watch for the northern, central and some eastern parishes. The remainder of the island, the rainfall alert remains at yellow (be aware).
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 10:15 am Wednesday 18th September 2024 and will be terminated at 6:00 pm today, Wednesday 18th September 2024 or sooner if conditions warrant. A flash flood warning may be issued at short notice if warrented.
