According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), a Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for Trinidad and Tobago, and will now start at 6pm tonight (Tuesday 28th June 2022), instead of 8pm. The Tropical Storm Warning will remain in effect until 5pm tomorrow evening (Wednesday 29th June 2022).
A Tropical Storm Warning means that Tropical Storm conditions (sustained winds of 63 Km/h or greater) are likely over the warning area within thirty-six (36) hours or less. The Met Office states that at 11am this morning, the centre of Potential Tropical Cyclone Two (PTC2) was located near 9.8°N latitude 57.5°W longitude or about 380 Km East of Trinidad. PTC2 is moving toward the West at 37 Km/h and a West to North-Westward motion is expected over the next few days. The system is now forecast to pass near or over portions of the Southern Windward Islands by this evening and Tropical Storm conditions are now likely from 6pm this evening. Ahead of the system, isolated afternoon heavy showers/thunderstorms can develop, which can produce gusty winds in excess of 55 Km/h. As PTC2 moves over the islands this evening into tonight, it is likely to produce periods of heavy to intense showers and/or thunderstorms that can result in rainfall accumulations in excess of 100 mm in some areas and wind gusts in excess of 70 Km/h. These wind gusts are capable of breaking tree branches, displacing unsecured roofs and loose outdoor objects, and can even topple over unhealthy trees. Heavy rainfall can produce ponding and localized flash flooding. Marine activities can be adversely affected, as sea conditions will become rough with wave heights reaching occasionally above 3m in open waters and choppy in sheltered areas. The risk of landslides/landslips is likely in areas so prone. The Met Office will issue its next update at 2pm this afternoon. Instructions:
