The kick-off event for Carifesta, the XIII Caribbean Festival of Arts, was postponed because of the storm’s encroachment.

The weather caused Caribbean airline LIAT to cancel almost 20 flights yesterday. At present there has been no announcement on flight changes for today.

In the latest update from the Miami-based National Hurricane Center, the centre of TS Harvey is located at latitude 13.7 north, longitude 64.1 west – or the eastern portion of the Caribbean Sea.

Portions of the Windward Islands should be aware that the storm may lead to heavy rain but the heaviest downfalls are expected across the ABC islands.
