The Meteorological Service has discontinued the Flash Flood Watch:

For low-lying and flood-prone areas of Clarendon, Manchester, St. Elizabeth and Westmoreland.


Effective immediately.


Satellite imagery and Radar reports indicate a significant reduction in rainfall across the island through last night, with light showers across sections of southern parishes.


The forecast is for isolated showers and thunderstorms mainly across western parishes this afternoon.


Meanwhile, the broad Area of Low Pressure remains across the northwestern Caribbean. Gradual strengthening of this system is expected as it moves over the southern or central Gulf of Mexico later today and Tuesday, where a tropical or subtropical cyclone is likely to form.

The Meteorological Service will continue to monitor the situation.
