UPDATE (2:30pm): The Met Office has extended the Adverse Weather Alert. It is now scheduled to end at 8:30pm on Wednesday, instead of 8pm. The Tropical Storm Warning has been discontinued for Trinidad and Tobago and the Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued an Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level) for a total of almost nineteen (19) hours. The Alert began at 11:05pm on Tuesday night (28th June 2022) and remains in effect until 6pm on Wednesday (29th June 2022).
According to the Met Office, at 11pm on Tuesday night, the centre of Potential Tropical Cyclone Two (PTC2) was located near 10.9ºN latitude 62.8ºW longitude, which is 175 Km to the West of the Trinidad. Hence, Tropical Storm conditions are no longer expected but there is still the likelihood for impactful weather today. The Tropical Storm Warning was lifted as of 11pm on Tuesday night. The centre of the disturbance, which was a strong Tropical Wave, made its way across Trinidad during the early night hours. However, impactful weather was minimal. The low-latitude and brisk movement speed of the system made it difficult for organization and development into a Tropical Storm to take place. Whilst parts of Tobago and Eastern Trinidad received rainfall from this event, Grenada got the brunt of it, with flooding reported in some areas and wind gusts of up to 118 Km/hr. As of 5am this morning, the system was located at 11.3ºN 65.4ºW, with maximum sustained winds of 35 Knots. Since entering the Caribbean sea, the system looks more defined, but it still remains labelled as “Potential Tropical Cyclone Two.” As for the Adverse Weather Alert, the Met Office says that a moist and unstable atmosphere exists and convergence behind the disturbance (PTC2) is still likely to produce persistent periods of rainfall and patches of heavy showers and/or thunderstorms on Wednesday. These heavy showers/thunderstorms can produce gusty winds in excess of 55 Km/h and rainfall accumulations in excess of 25 mm in some areas. Ponding and localized street flooding are also possible. The risk of landslides/landslips is possible in areas so prone. Sea conditions can become agitated in heavy showers and thunderstorms. Citizens are advised to secure loose outdoor items and livestock. Do not wade or drive through floodwaters. Monitor river levels. Those with marine interest should exercise caution. Follow the instructions of Government Officials. The Met Office notes that there will be no further updates as it pertains to Potential Tropical Cyclone Two.
