KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Meteorological Service has extended the flash flood watch for low-lying and flood-prone areas of all parishes until 5:00 am tomorrow.

The Met Service says a tropical wave across Jamaica and a trough across the central Caribbean continues to produce unstable weather conditions across the region, including Jamaica.

Satellite imagery and radar reports indicate that periods of light to moderate showers affected sections of eastern and south-central parishes throughout the night, Met Service said.

Projections are for showers and thunderstorms, which could be heavy at times, to continue to affect sections of most parishes through to Thursday.

Flash flooding is therefore a possibility over some low-lying and flood-prone areas of these 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 said it will continue to monitor the situation.
