The Meteorological Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning for low lying and flood prone areas of northern and southeastern parishes (including Hanover, St. James, Trelawny, St. Ann, St. Mary, Portland, St. Thomas, Kingston, St. Andrew and St. Catherine) effective until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. A FLASH FLOOD WARNING means flooding has been reported or will occur shortly. Motorist 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 lingering Frontal Trough over the central Caribbean and a new Frontal System approaching from the northwest will continue to influence weather conditions over Jamaica. Radar imagery indicates that moderate to heavy showers occurred over northern and southeastern parishes this morning. Cloudy conditions with outbreaks of showers are forecast to develop across most of the island today and persist into tonight and tomorrow. A Flash Flood Warning is, therefore, in effect for northern and southeastern parishes. Fishers and other marine interests should also expect choppy seas and thundershowers during the period, especially over inshore and offshore areas of the south coast. The Meteorological Service will continue to monitor the progress of this system.
