Flash-flood warning extended

The flash-flood warning which was issued earlier for Barbados has been extended until midnight.

A release from the Barbados Meteorological Services says a surface to mid-level trough currently affecting the island is expected to generate maximum rainfall accumulations of 25 to 75 mm in heavy showers.

A flash-flood warning is issued when rapid flooding due to heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time (generally less than six hours) is occurring or is imminent in the warning area. (PR/SAT)
