Flash Flood warning in effect for eastern parishes
The National Meteorological Service has extended the flash flood warning for St Ann, St. Mary, Portland and St Thomas until 5 p.m. this afternoon.
A flash flood warning means that flooding has been reported or will occur shortly.
Motorists and pedestrians should not attempt to cross flooded roadways or other low-lying areas as strong currents are likely.
Residents in low-lying areas should also be on the alert for fast rising waters and be ready to move quickly to higher ground.
The Met Office said the current weather condition is due to a persistent trough across the central Caribbean, which is likely to persist for the next few days.
Fishers and other marine interests are being advised to exercise caution as gusty winds and rough seas may be encountered in the vicinity of showers mainly north of the island.
