FLASH FLOOD WATCH
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES
2:01 AM ECT SUN, MAY 18, 2025
A flash flood warning has been downgraded to a watch and remains in effect for low lying and flood prone areas of Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands valid until 8 a.m.
A flash flood watch means that moderate to major flooding is possible but not imminent in the watch area. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
Residents in low lying and flood prone areas should make preparations for flooding to safe guard life and property. They should be prepared to move to higher ground if flooding rains develop or a flash flood warning is issued.
A trough over the leeward and british virgin islands is causing periodic heavy showers. Already, up to 2 inches of rain have fallen in some places in the last 12 hours and another 2 or more inches is possible.
Hence, moderate to major flooding of low lying and flood prone areas is possible.
Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services will continue to monitor the weather situation. Please stay tuned to local radio or television for watch updates and possible warnings.
Forecaster: Jaleel Jacobs
