The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service as well as the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are both monitoring a Tropical Wave that is expected to bring significant rainfall to T&T between Sunday 22nd September and Monday 23rd September 2019.
According to the Met Office, the chance of Tropical Cyclone development remains low, however, persons should be prepared in the event that changes occur. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is forecast across T&T and the Southern Windward Islands on Sunday and into Monday. Seas are forecast to become moderate to rough from late Saturday through Monday. There will also be an elevated threat of Street/Flash/Riverine Flooding on Monday, as well as Landslides and gusty winds. If you live in flood-prone areas or areas susceptible to Landslides, make sure you have an emergency plan in place and supplies available in case of an emergency.
T&T is not currently under an Alert or Tropical Storm Watch/Warning at this time, but there is a possibility that this may change soon.
As of 8am this morning (Friday 20th September 2019), the Tropical Wave was located about 700 Miles (1,127 Kilometers) East of the Windward Islands and continues to produce disorganized showers and Thunderstorms. The Wave is expected to move quickly Westward at about 20 Mph (32 Km/h) during the next few days, and some development is possible while it approaches and moves across the Windward Islands this weekend.
