Watch upgraded to Flash Flood Warning

The Flash Flood Watch issued this morning for the north-western districts of Barbados has been upgraded to a Flash Flood Warning.

A flash-flood warning is issued when rapid flooding due to heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time (generally less than 6 hours) is occurring or is imminent in the warning area.

The Met Office says Maximum Rainfall Accumulations of 25.0 to 50.0 mm in heavy showers are likely across western, north-western and some central districts. This alert is valid until 6:00 p.m. but will be terminated sooner if conditions warrant.
