A flash flood warning is in effect for St. Vinent and the Grenadines until 6 a.m. Sunday.
Forecasters said Saturday evening that moderate to heavy showers, gusty winds, periods of rain and frequent thunderstorm activity are anticipated tonight across St. Vincent and the Grenadines as a surface trough affects our islands.
“Due to the recent rainfall events, soils remain saturated across our islands and any additional rainfall increases the risk of land slippage and flash flooding,”
Model guidance suggests that accumulations of near 50 millimeter (2 inches) with isolated higher amounts in mountainous areas are likely to persist into Sunday,” the SVG Met Services said.
As a result, the weather advisory that was in effect for SVG has been upgraded to a flash-flood warning.
Residents and motorists in areas prone to flooding and landslides or near rivers and streams should take the necessary precautionary measures to protect life and property.
A flash-flood warning is issued when flooding is imminent or is already occurring.
