Flash Flood Warning for sections of eastern and central parishes

Low lying and flood prone areas of some eastern and central parishes are under a Flash Flood Warning due to a Trough across Jamaica.

The National Meteorological Centre issued the advisory for St. Mary, Portland, St. Thomas, Kingston & St. Andrew, St. Catherine, Clarendon and Manchester. 

The Flash Flood Warning is in effect until 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.

The Met Service says the Trough is currently generating unstable weather conditions across the island and the central Caribbean. 

Sections of eastern and central parishes have been experiencing moderate to heavy rainfall and periods of thunderstorms since Friday afternoon. 

The forecast is for periods of moderate to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms to continue across sections of eastern and central parishes on Saturday.

Additionally, due to the extended period of rainfall, and high ground saturation, landslides are likely.
