Sustained winds associated with “Bret” no longer pose a threat to St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Additional rainfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 millimeters) with isolated higher amounts are anticipated. Therefore, a flash-flood warning remains in effect until further notice. Residents and motorists in areas prone to flooding and landslides or near rivers and streams should take action to protect all life and property.
