The Meteorological Service has:


· Issued a Flash Flood Watch for low-lying and flood-prone areas of
all parishes.

· Effective until 5:00 p.m. today.

· A Cold Front across Jamaica is producing unstable weather conditions across the island. Satellite imagery and radar reports indicate that light to moderate at times heavy showers affected sections of most parishes last night.

· The forecast is for periods of showers and thunderstorms to continue affecting sections of most parishes today into Monday. Windy conditions are expected mainly across sections of northern parishes. Flash flooding is therefore possible over some low-lying and flood-prone areas of Jamaica.


· A FLASH FLOOD WATCH means that flash flooding is possible and residents are advised to take precautionary measures, keep informed by listening to further releases from the Meteorological Service and be ready for quick action if flooding is observed or if a Warning is issued.


The Meteorological Service will continue to monitor the situation.
