Flood warning discontinued in Dominica

The Flood Warning for Dominica has been discontinued as of 6 pm this evening. The weather advisory was issued by the Dominica Meteorological Services.

The Flood Warning which was in effect for Dominica was extended to 6:00 pm from 12 pm noon on Tuesday by Dominican Meteorological Services.

Lingering moisture associated with a tropical wave is expected to continue to generate cloudiness and a few scattered showers across the area during the night.

Radar imagery indicated a significant reduction in shower activity south of Dominica over the past 6 hours. Additionally, the potential for significant shower activity during the next 24 hours has decreased. As a result, the flood warning for Dominica has been discontinued as of 6pm on Tuesday evening.

Due to the already saturated nature of the soils, people in areas prone to landslides and falling rocks are advised to be vigilant and to exercise caution.

On Wednesday, a high pressure system is projected to build across the area producing an increase in wind speed.

Moderate to rough seas are expected during the next 24 hours with waves peaking between 7.0 to 10.0 feet. Small craft operators and sea bathers are advised to exercise caution.
