A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for low-lying and flood-prone areas of Montserrat, valid until 4 p.m. today.

A Flash Flood Watch means that moderate to major flooding is possible but not imminent in the watch area. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

Residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas should make preparations to safeguard life and property. Be ready to move to higher ground if flooding rains develop or if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.

A persistent trough over the northeastern Caribbean is influencing weather conditions across the area, producing periodic heavy showers and thunderstorms. Radar estimates indicate that over 2 inches of rain have already fallen in some places during the last six hours, with another 2 to 4 inches or more possible in the next 12 hours. As a result, minor flooding of low-lying and flood-prone areas is expected.

The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services will continue to monitor the weather situation and issue updates as necessary.
