Flood Watch Upgraded to Flood Warning for Antigua and Barbuda
A decision has been made to up the flash flood watch to a warning, 3-8pm.
The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services says residents in flood-prone areas should make preparations for flooding to safeguard life and property and should be prepared to move to higher ground if flooding rains develop or a flash flood warning is issued.
A very active tropical wave over the Leeward Islands is causing periodic moderate to heavy showers.
2 to 3 inches or more rainfall is possible within 3 to 6 hours; hence, moderate to major flooding of flood-prone areas is possible.
