The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services said there’s a 70% chance of showers tonight as the atmosphere remains relatively moist and unstable across the Leeward Islands which include Montserrat.

The Disaster Management Coordination Agency (DMCA) urges residents to exercise extreme caution when crossing the Belham Valley River as Lahars/mudflows can occur at any time without warning due to a significant amount of rainfall.

Motorists are advised to be extra careful when driving in these conditions as wet weather driving can be hazardous, causing skidding.
