Expect sporadic afternoon showers and thundershowers
by ODPMTT on Monday, October 15, 2012 at 2:30pm ·

Issuance time 2:00 p.m.

Trinidad should expect sporadic afternoon showers and thundershowers as a result of thermally driven localized instability. These conditions are expected to continue for the next two to three hours. Some of these showers and thundershowers can be heavy or intense and will favour western districts of Trinidad but may not exclude other local districts.

Street/flash flooding and the occasional gust are likely in the vicinity of heavy showers/thundershowers. Citizens are advised to be vigilant and cautious as they conduct their daily activities given forecast weather conditions. Be alert to any electrical discharges from thundercloud activitiy.


WE STRONGLY UNDERSCORE THAT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO IS NOT UNDER ANY TROPICAL STORM THREAT, WATCH OR WARNING AT THIS TIME.
