Descripción
Due to the already saturated environment and additional rainfall throughout the night could result in possible flooding across the island, a FLOOD WATCH is in effect.
Hazard Info:-
**** Hazard Info ****
Possible Impacts
Runoff from higher elevations. Soil erosion/land slippage on exposed or scarred land surfaces. Water settlements on roads and fields. Adjustments to water levels of existing water bodies (ponds etc.). Large objects or debris from higher elevations becoming embedded within fast moving water flows. Flooding at the foot of hillsides and coastal roads. Delays on traffic routes with some roads being impassable.
What you should do
-The public should follow recommendations from the department of emergency management and monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media pages along with the local media networks for further updates.
Discussion
A shearline aided by a favourable upper-level pattern will likely continue to trigger heavy to intense showers and thunderstorms overnight. Additional rainfall accumulations between 1 to 2 inches are forecast. In light of the already saturated soils, this is likely to generate pockets of flooding across the island. Therefore, the Barbados Meteorological Services has issued a Flood Watch.
General Information
A flood watch is issued when the conditions are favourable for flooding within the next 48 hours (in this case within the next 12 hours). It does not mean that flooding will occur, but it is possible.
This Flood Watch was issued at 6:00pm Monday 9th September 2024 and will be updated 6:00 am Tuesday 10th September 2024 or sooner if conditions warrant.
