La Plaine earlier today

The Flood Warning which is in effect for Dominica has been extended to 6:00 pm.

The Dominica Meteorological Services said in its latest advisory issued at 12:00 pm, that the Flood Warning which is  in effect for Dominica until noon, has been extended to 6:00 pm today.

According to advisory, an area of disturbed weather associated with a tropical wave is expected to continue to generate cloudiness, showers and isolated thunderstorms across the area during the next 24 hours.

“Radar imagery continues to show pockets of moderate to heavy showers to the south of Dominica with the potential of spreading inland during this afternoon. As a result, the flood warning for Dominica has been extended to 6pm this evening and will be updated if conditions warrant.” the Met Office stated.

A flood warning means that flooding is already occurring or is expected during the period.

People in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks are advised to be vigilant and to exercise extreme caution during the period.

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

Moderate seas are expected during the next 24 hours with waves peaking near 8.0ft. By Wednesday an increase to peak near 10.0 is anticipated. Small craft operators and sea bathers are advised to exercise caution.

    Under flood warning again? Boy see how Skerrit has us living in fair nou. The bad thing is, we have nothing to do because Skerrit put us out of work so we could depend on him for our next dollar and many of us waiting for talk on the block and next thing Matt find the best thing to do is to bring a hitman from American, that does not believe in the bible to curse uwp down. I really wonder if Matt understands that he has a responsibility to know what his guest vision to talk about before he lets them in. Yes I know we want to promote free speech but you can’t have people come on Q to talk their crap man. We can’t be trying to build something positive and then instead of bringing people to help build, you bringing hit and run guys to break down all what we’ve been building. Is this what we call journalism man?
