The National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) in St Vincent and the Grenadines is urging residents and motorists in low lying areas, areas prone to flooding, lahar or mudflows and landslide to be vigilant and exercise caution.
A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for St Vincent and the Grenadines until further notice. According to the St Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services, a low-level trough is encroaching on the islands and the upper-level environment is expected to become supportive.
Consequently, cloudy to overcast skies, pockets of light to heavy showers, periods of light rain and isolated thunderstorms are anticipated across St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) during the next few days.
This activity could peak by midweek across the Southern Windward Islands including SVG. The latest forecast model guidance suggests rainfall accumulations of 75 to 125 millimetres (approximately 3-5 inches) with isolated higher amounts in mountainous areas during the next 24 to 72 hours.
