A flash flood watch goes into effect today (Friday) from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This means that moderate to major flooding is possible.

According to information from the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Office, a low-level trough over the area is likely to combine with daytime instability later this afternoon.

These conditions could lead to cloud development and significant rainfall in some areas of the island. The report says an advisory or warning could be issued at short notice should these flooding rains materialize.

Residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas should safeguard life and property and be prepared to move to higher ground if flooding rains develop or a flash flood warning is issued, which means that flooding is expected.

Individuals are advised to stay tuned to local media for watch updates and possible warnings.
