Press Release Meteorological Service 20241129:
The Meteorological Service has:
Continued the Flash Flood Warning for low-lying and flood-prone areas of St. Mary, Portland, and St. Thomas.
Issued a Flash Flood Warning for low-lying and flood-prone areas of Clarendon, St. Catherine, Kingston, and St. Andrew.
Issued a Flash Flood Watch for the remainder of the Island.
Effective until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 29, 2024.
The Broad Trough across the western Caribbean continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms across the region including Jamaica. Rainfall observations indicate that moderate to heavy showers affected eastern and south-central parishes today and light to moderate showers elsewhere.
The forecast is for mostly cloudy conditions with periods of showers and thunderstorms to continue across the island, and especially across eastern and south central parishes through to Friday evening. Due to the periods of rainfall over the last few days, the ground is highly saturation and as a result, flooding and landslides are likely to occur across eastern and south-central parishes.
Additionally, fishers on the Cays and Banks, especially on the south coast, are urged to exercise extreme caution as sea conditions will continue to deteriorate in the vicinity of showers, thunderstorms and strong winds.
A FLASH FLOOD WARNING means flooding has been reported or will occur shortly. Motorists and
pedestrians should not attempt to cross flooded roadways or other low-lying areas as strong currents are likely. Residents in low-lying areas should be on the alert for rising waters and be ready to move quickly to higher ground.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH means that flash flooding is possible, and residents are advised to take precautionary measures, keep informed by listening to further releases from the Meteorological Service and be ready for quick action if flooding is observed or if a Warning is issued.
