A Flash Flood Advisory is in effect for minor flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas of Antigua, 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.

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’t drown. Move to higher ground.

Daytime heating is influencing the weather over the island, causing heavy showers.

Already, up to 2 inches of rain has fallen on the southwestern side of the island in the last 1.5 hours, and another inch or more is likely in the next 2 hours in varying parts.

Hence, minor flooding of low-lying and flood-prone areas is expected.
