Descripción
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.
Hazard Info:-
**** Hazard Info ****
Rainfall accumulations up to 50mm were observed across most sections of St. Philip and St. John during the morning.
As the trough system continues to affect the island during the afternoon, further accumulations up to 40.0 mm from heavy showers remain possible.
This activity could generate flooding across low-lying areas. Therefore, the Barbados Meteorological Services has extended the Flash-Flood Watch.
Possible Impacts
-There is the low/medium possibility of significant flooding which may result in:
Soil erosion on bared or scarred land surfaces.
Water settlements on roads and fields which may lead to commuting delays and possible isolated diversions.
What you should do
-The public should follow recommendations from the Department of Emergency Management.
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.
This Flash Flood Watch was updated at 12 Noon Friday 19th April 2024 and will be terminated at 6:00pm Friday 19th April 2024 or sooner if conditions warrant.
