Heavy rains lashed parts of Dominica late on Monday causing rivers to burst their banks, especially on the southeastern coast of the island.<\/p>\n

Flooding was reported at the Rosalie and Sari Sari Rivers.<\/p>\n

Motorists traveling in that part of the island are asked to excercise caution.<\/p>\n

In an alert on Monday afternoon, Caribbean Online Weather (COW) reported that latest satellite imagery shows overcast skies and rainfall continue over portions of the Lesser Antilles.<\/p>\n

In a 6:00 pm advisory on Monday, the Dominica Meteorological Service said weak unstable conditions will be affecting the area tonight into tomorrow.<\/p>\n

“As a result of the increased moisture and instability, cloudy to overcast conditions, light to moderate showers and possible isolated thunderstorms can be expected during the period. People in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks should be on the alert,” the Service stated.<\/p>\n
