Go-Jamaica Weather Watch

The Meteorological Service has extended the Flash Flood Watch for low-lying and flood-prone areas of all parishes, until 5.00 p.m. today.
 
Flash Flood watch means 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 very active Tropical Wave that has been in the vicinity of Jamaica will continue to influence weather conditions, as it begins to drift westward, across the central Caribbean, today.
 
The system continues to produce an area of instability over the island, therefore periods of moderate to heavy thundershowers and gusty winds should be expected over all parishes.  As a result, flash flooding is likely over low-lying and flood prone areas during the next 12 to 24 hours.
 
Marine interests, especially fishers on the cays and banks, should continue to exercise caution as gusty winds and choppy seas may be encountered in the vicinity of thunderstorms.
