The Barbados Meteorological Services has advised that Flood Watch remains in effect.
A Flood Watch is issued when the conditions are favorable for flooding within the next 36 hours (in this case within the next 12 hours). It does not mean that flooding will occur, but it is possible.
Maximum Rainfall Accumulations of 100.0 to 150.0 mm in heavy showers and periods of rain are forecast for today Thursday 1st
October 2020. This excessive amount of rainfall accumulation can present life-threatening floods, particularly during the afternoon. A
tropical wave in conjunction with a favorable upper-level environment is producing unsettled conditions across the island. Residents
and visitors must monitor the situation closely via official updates from the BMS over the next 6 to 12 hours. Radar data overnight has
indicated about 4 to 6 inches of rainfall accumulation around 100 – 150km east of Barbados.
 Residents and visitors should note that the following impacts are likely during this forecast period; Significant runoff
from higher elevations. Significant soil erosion is likely on exposed or scarred land surfaces. Large water settlements on roads and
fields. Significant adjustments to water levels of existing water bodies (ponds etc.). Significant delays on traffic routes with some roads
possibly becoming impassable. Large objects or debris from higher elevations may embedded within fast-moving water
flows. Significant flooding at the foot of hillsides and coastal roads is possible.
