The Meteorological Service has issued:
• A Flash Flood Watch for low-lying and flood-prone areas of all parishes.
• Effective until 5:00 a.m. tomorrow.
• The persistent trough system across Jamaica and the central Caribbean continues to produce unstable weather conditions. Since today moderate and at times heavy showers has spread to all parishes based on automatic weather station reports.

• The forecast is for these showers with isolated thunderstorms to continue across the island tonight and tomorrow morning. Flash flooding is therefore a possibility over low-lying and flood-prone areas of all parishes.

• 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.
