Hazard Info:-
**** Hazard Info ****
The tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic has moved closer to the eastern Caribbean resulting in a decrease in wind speeds across Barbados. This has allowed localized activity to develop across the island.
As a result, maximum rainfall accumulations of 25.0 to 50.0 mm in heavy to violent showers are expected mainly across the central parishes of the island during the afternoon.
