The fol­low­ing is the bul­letin is­sued by the Met Ser­vice to 10:00 am, to­day, cov­er­ing the pe­ri­od: this af­ter­noon and tonight…

TRINIDAD, TO­BA­GO AND THE WIND­WARD IS­LANDS

This af­ter­noon will see cloudy to over­cast con­di­tions with pe­ri­ods of rain and/or show­ers in broad ar­eas. There is al­so a high (70-80%) chance of heavy show­ers and thun­der­storms. These con­di­tions will per­sist overnight. Gusty winds and street/flash flood­ing may oc­cur near heavy show­ers/thun­der­storms.

● River­ine Flood Alert #1 – YEL­LOW Lev­el is in ef­fect, for the Ca­roni Riv­er Basin and its trib­u­taries.

Af­ter rain­fall overnight and to­day, riv­er lev­els along the Ca­roni Riv­er are cur­rent­ly near 90% and con­tin­ue to rise. With oc­ca­sion­al pe­ri­ods of heavy show­ers still like­ly over the next 24 hours, this ad­di­tion­al rain­fall can keep the riv­er lev­els el­e­vat­ed, so there re­mains a mod­er­ate risk to pub­lic safe­ty, liveli­hood and prop­er­ty.

In­struc­tions:     Care­ful­ly mon­i­tor weath­er con­di­tions and riv­er/wa­ter lev­els. Mon­i­tor up­dates from of­fi­cial sources and plan safe­ty mea­sures, in­clud­ing emer­gency sup­plies of food and wa­ter. Do not take un­nec­es­sary risks. Fol­low the in­struc­tions of gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials.

● Ad­verse Weath­er Alert #1 – YEL­LOW Lev­el comes in­to ef­fect at 2pm to­day, for Trinidad and To­ba­go and sur­round­ing ma­rine ar­eas.

Pe­ri­ods of rain and/or show­ers of vary­ing in­ten­si­ties are ex­pect­ed from the af­ter­noon on Tues­day 22nd No­vem­ber 2022, com­menc­ing over To­ba­go and east­ern ar­eas of Trinidad as an ac­tive low-lev­el tough tra­vers­es west­ward over our area.

There is al­so a high (70-80%) chance of heavy show­ers and thun­der­storms that can pro­duce in­tense rain­fall be­tween 25-50 mm and in ex­cess of this amount in iso­lat­ed ar­eas. Gusty winds in ex­cess of 55 km/h may be ex­pe­ri­enced es­pe­cial­ly in the vicin­i­ty of heavy show­ers/thun­der­storms.

Street/flash flood­ing and lo­cal­ized pond­ing are al­so like­ly in heavy down­pours. Seas can be­come ag­i­tat­ed at times in shel­tered ar­eas. Land­slides/land­slips are al­so pos­si­ble in ar­eas so prone.

In­struc­tions:     Do not wade or dri­ve through flood wa­ters. Se­cure loose out­door items and live­stock. Mon­i­tor weath­er con­di­tions and of­fi­cial up­dates.
