Flash flood watch discontinued

The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) has discontinued the flash flood watch previously imposed on northwestern, western and northern districts.

“Over the past few hours, a trough system affecting the island generated rainfall accumulations between 0.5 and 1.5 inches in moderate to heavy showers across a few northwestern, western and northern districts. Radar and satellite imagery indicate that the trough system has moved northwest and is no longer affecting the island; as such, the flash flood watch has been discontinued . . . effective immediately,” the BMS said.
