Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service:<\/strong> A Flash Flood Advisory is in effect for minor flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas of Antigua, Montserrat, St. Kitts, and Nevis, valid until 4 PM today. A Flood Advisory means that streams, creeks, and drains may be elevated or even overflowing into streets, low-lying and flood-prone areas; however, property damage will be minimal.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Inconveniences can be expected, but the flooding is not expected to be immediately life-threatening. However, just one foot of flowing water is enough to sweep vehicles off the road. When encountering flooded roads, be extremely cautious, and if in doubt, make the smart choice: Turn Around, Don\u2019t Drown. Move to higher ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A persistent trough over the Leeward Islands is influencing the weather over the area, causing periodic heavy showers and thunderstorms. Already, up to an inch has fallen in some places in the last 3 hours, and another inch or more is likely in the next 12 hours. Hence, minor flooding of low-lying and flood-prone areas is expected.<\/p>
