WEATHER UPDATE (6:00 AM, Sept 29): Increased showers, thunderstorms expected; people in areas prone to flooding, landslides, falling rocks asked to remain alert

An increase in moisture trailing Hurricane Sam is expected to affect the area during the next 24 to 48 hours. This is expected to result in an increase in cloudiness with showers and possible isolated thunderstorms during the period. Light winds will also be evident.

People in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks should remain on alert.

Meanwhile, at 11am, one of two areas of low pressure being monitored in the far eastern tropical Atlantic near the coast of Africa developed into tropical depression number 20. At 5pm, tropical depression 20 developed into tropical storm Victor. This system poses no direct threat to Dominica as it moves west northwest. The second area of low pressure has a low chance of development. The Met. Service will continue to monitor the progress of these systems.

Moderate to rough seas are anticipated during tonight into tomorrow with swells peaking near 10.0ft along the eastern coastline. A Small Craft Warning and A High Surf Advisory will remain in effect for above normal seas until 12 noon tomorrow. Small craft operators and sea-bathers are advised to stay out of the water. People living near to or traversing coastal areas should exercise caution.
