A FLASH flood watch, previously in effect for low-lying and flood-prone areas of south-western parishes, was lifted yesterday morning, but more rain is coming, this time caused by a stationary front expected to move into the island today.
Peter Fearon, duty forecaster at the National Meteorological Service, said yesterday that the front was moving across the north-west Caribbean and would produce showers in northern parishes between today and Saturday afternoon.
The island may be in for a break, though, depending on various conditions, he added.
"By Sunday you may start to see a break, depending on whether there is any other system and how fast the frontal system moves across the island," Mr. Fearon explained.
A flash flood watch means flash flooding is possible and residents are advised to take precautionary measures.
Over the last few days, the island has had outbreaks of showers and thunderstorms. They were associated with a tropical depression which had been pinpointed west-north-west of Negril Point.
