A FLOOD WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR DOMINICA

The remnants of Tropical Storm Grace which is now a tropical wave are expected to move across Dominica during tonight and early tomorrow, Friday.

This system will spread cloudy to overcast skies, pockets of moderate to heavy showers, periods of rain, scattered thunderstorms and occasional gusty winds over the island.
Rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are possible with isolated higher amounts.

Due to the already saturated nature of the soil, any additional rainfall is likely to result in further flooding and landslides.

Hence, residents in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks are urged to take all necessary precautions to protect life and property.

This warning may be further extended should conditions become necessary.

 

Issued at 5pm – Thursday, September 10, 2015

…Until 12:00 Noon tomorrow
