Flash Flood Advisory
Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services
1:40 PM ECT Mon, Sep 23, 2024
Antigua and Barbuda
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.
Available low-level moisture, coupled with daytime heating, is influencing the weather over the island, causing periodic heavy showers. Hence, minor flooding of low-lying and flood-prone areas is expected.
Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services will continue to monitor the situation. Please call 463-4638 for later statements. Also, stay tuned to local radio and TV stations for the latest information.
