A flash flood watch has been issued For low-lying and flood prone areas of St. Mary, Portland, St. Thomas, Kingston, St. Andrew and St. Catherine effective until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday November 1, 2023.
According to the met office, a Broad Trough currently located across the central Caribbean is producing a large area of cloudiness with showers and thunderstorms, and is expected to linger across the region through
to Friday.
Additionally, a Pre-Frontal Trough is expected to move into the region by tomorrow and interact with the Broad Trough resulting in greater instability across the area especially on Wednesday and Thursday.
The met office further notes that due to persistent rainfall across eastern parishes and St. Catherine over the past few days, and the likely soil saturation, any additional rainfall could result in flash flooding and possible
landslides.
