Flash flood warning and watch in effect for several parishes

A flash flood warning is in effect for most southern parishes, while a flash flood watch has been issued for 4 parishes.

This as unstable weather continues to affect the island.

Parishes under the flash flood warning are St. Thomas, Kingston and St. Andrew, St. Catherine, Clarendon and Manchester.

Meantime, a flash flood watch is in effect for St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Portland and St. Mary.

The Met Service says both the watch and warning will remain in effect until 8am tomorrow.

A flash flood watch means flash flooding is possible and residents should stay alert and be ready to evacuate, while a flash flood warning means flooding has been reported or will occur shortly.
