INCREASED RAINFALL AND NEAR-GALE FORCE WINDS EXPECTED FOR MAINLY NORTHERN PARISHES

A strong High Pressure Ridge and a frontal system across the northern Caribbean are expected to influence weather conditions across Jamaica this evening through Wednesday.

Through today, satellite imagery and radar observations indicated that cloudy conditions along with light-to-moderate showers have been affecting sections of northern and south-central parishes. Periods of showers are expected to continue this evening until Monday as the frontal system drifts closer to Jamaica. Thereafter, windy conditions are expected to persist until Wednesday with near-gale force winds across northern parishes and higher elevations elsewhere.


The Meteorological Service will continue to monitor the situation.
