Pockets of light to moderate scattered showers, and periods of rain, are expected across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with a likely increase in intensity and frequency as the day progresses into Saturday due to the passage of a trough system. Gusty winds and a low to moderate chance of isolated thunderstorms are also likely near showers.
As a result, a Flash-Flood Watch is now in effect for St. Vincent and the Grenadines until 6:00 pm, Saturday 26th February 2022
The latest model guidance is suggesting rainfall of 50 mm to 75 mm (2 inches to 3 inches) with possible higher amounts in mountainous areas during the watch period.
Residents and motorists in areas prone to flash-flooding and landslides, or near rivers and streams should be prepared.
A Flood Watch means that the conditions are favourable and there exists the possibility of flooding within the watch area.
This Flash-flood watch may be upgraded to a warning if conditions warrant it.
