Local News News Weather Flash-flood watch in effect for central parishes across Barbados Barbados Today01/09/2022095 views A flash-flood watch is in effect for central parishes across the island. The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) said in an advisory that a tropical disturbance in the Central Atlantic has moved closer to the Eastern Caribbean resulting in a decrease in winds speeds across the island and this has allowed localized activity to develop. As a result, central parishes are likely to experience heavy to violent showers during the afternoon. The BMS said maximum rainfall accumulations of 25.0 to 50.0 mm are expected. (BMS)
