An area of disturbed weather associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly is forecast to bring heavy rainfall to the area starting Saturday night in the Leeward Islands, and Sunday in the British Virgin Islands.

Rainfall accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is possible, with locally higher amounts possible in a short duration, which could increase the risk of flooding.

Affected Areas:

Low-lying areas, small creeks, and areas with poor drainage are most at risk.

Dangerous Travel:

Rapid inundation of roadways is possible.

Monitor future forecasts and updates.

Clear debris from storm drains and gutters.

Review your flash flood safety plan. Be prepared to move to higher ground if a flash flood warning is issued.

Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services will continue to monitor the situation. See your local forecast for details of the weather going forward.
