Wet weather and thunderstorms ahead

Antigua & Barbuda residents should prepare for heavy rainfall as an estimated 2 inches (55mm) of precipitation is forecasted from tonight until Wednesday.

In addition, there is a 30% chance of thunderstorms on Monday, increasing to 50% on Tuesday and Wednesday.
