Barbados is under a flash-flood warning as a tropical wave continues to affect the island, producing moderate to heavy showers. The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) has upgraded the alert from a flash-flood watch to a warning due to concerns about flooding.
Outlets report that the rainfall could total about 2 to 3 inches, with a high possibility of significant flooding, especially in low-lying areas. The BMS expects the showers to persist as the tropical wave moves through the region, increasing the risk of fast-onset water rises.
While all accounts focus on the BMS alert and the tropical wave’s impact, they differ mainly in timing and wording: one outlet references the earlier watch phase, while another reports the warning being in effect. All sources point to heavy rainfall as the main driver of the flooding risk.
