Flash Flood Warning has been extended

The Barbados Meteorological Services has extended the flash flood warning until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow.

A flash-flood warning is issued when 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.

Some sections of Barbados have recorded almost 2 inches (50 mm) of rainfall throughout the day as the leading edge of a tropical wave

began to affect the island. This tropical wave in combination with the ITCZ is expected to affect the island overnight and therefore,

unsettled conditions will persist into tonight.

Frequent burst of moderate to heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms can be expected

across Barbados. Additional rainfall accumulations of 20.0 to 40.0 mm in moderate to heavy showers are expected throughout the night.
