St Vincent and the Grenadines placed under flash flood watch
A flash flood watch is in effect for St Vincent and the Grenadines until 6 pm on Monday.
A flash flood warning, which was issued for SVG over the weekend, after localised flooding was experienced in several areas, was discontinued at 6 am.
The St Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services in a statement issued at 6 am on Monday said weak unstable conditions continue to support occasionally cloudy skies, with periods of light rain, moderate showers and thunderstorm activity across SVG.
Additional rainfall accumulations of about 50 millimetres (2 inches) are possible within the next 6 to 12 hours, before a decrease in cloudiness/moisture on Monday night.
A flash flood watch is issued when conditions are favourable and there exists the possibility of flooding during the watch period.
Residents and motorists in areas prone to flash flooding and landslides or near rivers and streams should be prepared.
