WEATHER UPDATE (6:00PM, July 1): Flood warning discontinued at 6 PM, caution advised due to rough seas

A relative reduction in moisture levels can be expected as Beryl moves away from the area. As a result, the flood warning for Dominica has been discontinued. People in areas prone to landslides and falling rocks are advised to be on the alert and to exercise caution. 

Moderate to rough seas can be expected in open water with waves peaking near 10 ft during the next 24 hours. People living near the coast are advised to exercise caution due to onshore breaking wave action. Small craft operators are advised to remain in port. Sea bathers are advised to stay out of the water.

Meanwhile, an area of low pressure located in the Central Tropical Atlantic is being monitored. This system presently has a medium chance of development within 7 days and is expected to approach the area by Wednesday. Residents are advised to monitor the progress of this system.
