UPDATE (1pm): Showers across Trinidad are gradually moving Northward as skies clear somewhat across parts of T&T. Showers and isolated Thunderstorms remain in the forecast through today. More gusty winds, Street/Flash Flooding are still possible.
An Adverse Weather Alert (Yellow Level) is in effect from 9:30am this morning (Sunday 28th March 2021) until 2pm on Tuesday (30th March 2021). The Met Office says that periods of rain and showers of varying intensities are expected to continue intermittently, with a 60% - 70% (medium to high) chance of Thunderstorm activity.
Gusty winds in excess of 55 Km/hr may be experienced especially in the vicinity of showers/Thunderstorms. Localized Flooding is highly likely and rivers with smaller capacity can overflow their banks. Seas can become agitated due to strong winds. Flash Flooding is ongoing in Ogis Trace, Coalmine, Sangre Grande as of 12pm today. Residents of the area are marooned in their homes as a nearby stream burst its banks. At 12pm a cluster of showers moved onshore Trinidad moving towards the Northwest. Elsewhere, mostly cloudy skies are ongoing with few areas of light rain. Additional showers are forecast to move onshore from Northeast Trinidad and Tobago over the next hour.
Tributaries are on the rise in Las Lomas #1, near the ASJA Mosque. With continued rainfall through today, Flash Flooding is possible as smaller capacity tributaries and rivers overflow its banks.
Flash Flooding is also ongoing on Little Coora Road, between Cunaripo and Cumuto, Central Trinidad. At 11am this morning a new cluster of showers was observed approaching Trinidad from the Southeast. This will also bring additional rainfall to waterlogged areas of Central Trinidad, triggering Street/Flash Flooding. Persons are advised to avoid traveling through floodwaters.
