Pockets of moderate to heavy showers, periods of rain and isolated thunderstorms are anticipated across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as unstable conditions affect our islands. Rainfall accumulations of 50-75mm (approximately 2-3 inches) with isolated higher amounts in mountainous areas are possible during the next 24 hours.
Due to the saturated nature of the soils from previous rainfall events, the weather advisory for a low risk of flooding which is already in effect for St. Vincent & the Grenadines has been upgraded to a flash-flood watch and will remain in effect until 12:00 Noon, Monday 18th, November 2024.
Residents and motorists in areas prone to flooding and landslides or near rivers and streams should be prepared.
A Flood-Watch is issued when conditions are favourable and there exists the possibility of flooding during the watch period.
This flash-flood watch may be upgraded to a warning if conditions warrant or discontinued or downgraded if the threat of flooding decreases.
