Flash flood warning issued for Jamaica until Thursday
Flash
flooding is likely to result from worsening weather conditions, which are
expected to affect Jamaica until Thursday (October 1).
The Met
Service, in a release, said that a flash flood warning had been issued for
low-lying areas of all parishes as a tropical wave east of the island is
expected to bring with it heavy rains.
The warning
means that flash flooding is possible, and residents are advised to take
precautionary measures.
Projections
are for periods of moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms to affect
sections of most parishes, especially eastern and central parishes.
Fishers and
other marine operators are urged to exercise caution as sea conditions will
deteriorate in the vicinity of showers, thunderstorms, and gusty winds.
