The Meteorological Service has continued:

•A Flash Flood Watch for low-lying and flood-prone areas of all
parishes.
•Effective until 5:00 p.m. today.
•The persistent trough across Jamaica and the central Caribbean
continues to produce unstable weather conditions.

•Although cloudy conditions with light rainfall affected sections of
most parishes last night, the forecast is for moderate to heavy
showers and thunderstorms to once again develop across the island
today. Flash flooding is therefore likely 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.
