Flash flood watch extended
KINGSTON, Jamaica — A flash flood watch remains in effect for low-lying and flood-prone areas of southern and northwestern parishes until 5:00 pm on Tuesday.
All other parishes have also been cautioned to expect flooding as a large area of disturbed weather that has been affecting the island since Saturday night, continues to produce showers and thunderstorms.
In its latest advisory on Monday night, the Meteorological Service said the system which is now known as Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, will continue to move away from the island tomorrow, however, moderate to heavy showers will continue increasing the chances of flash flooding across the island.
Fishers and other marine interest are being warned to continue exercising caution as sea conditions continue to deteriorate.
The Met Service says it will continue to monitor this system.
