Start date (local time) Sat, May 17, 2025 6:00 PM
End date (local time) Sun, May 18, 2025 6:00 PM
Issuance time (local time) Fri, May 16, 2025 3:29 PM
Description: Low and mid-level south-easterly winds are expected to draw equatorial moisture over our area, thus increasing atmospheric moisture and instability this weekend. Moderate winds and substantial concentrations of Saharan dust are also expected over the next few days. While the dust is expected to limit widespread rainfall at times, there is still the medium potential for heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms with associated gusty winds. Heavy or prolonged rainfall can lead to street/flash flooding. The ITCZ remains well south of Trinidad and Tobago at this time and is expected to move over our area early next week. Possible
Impacts: Street and/or flash flooding in areas so prone, localized ponding in low-lying areas, landslips and landslides, agitated sea conditions, electrical surges, movement of unsecured items and loose vegetation.
Instructions: Secure any loose outdoor objects and livestock. Continue to remain vigilant and monitor weather conditions, assessing your surroundings before venturing out. Take necessary precautions to mitigate potential impacts. Follow the instructions of government officials. Monitor weather updates from
