This alert message is valid from 2:15 pm Thursday 1st September 2022 and will be terminated at 6:00 pm Thursday 1st September 2022 or sooner if conditions warrant.
A flash-flood watch is issued when heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time (generally less than 6 hours) could result in flash flooding within the watch area. It does not mean that flooding will occur, but it is possible.
**** Hazard Info ****
The tropical disturbance in the central Atlantic has moved closer to the eastern Caribbean resulting in a decrease in wind speeds across Barbados. This has allowed localized activity to develop across the island.
As a result, maximum rainfall accumulations of 25.0 to 50.0 mm in heavy to violent showers are expected mainly across the central parishes of the island during the afternoon.
