Heavy showers this weekend

Barbadians can expect some heavy rains over the weekend.
A special weather bulletin issued this morning around 11 a.m. by the Barbados Meteorological Services stated there is a tropical wave approaching and it is 300 miles to the east of Barbados.
“Showers and thunderstorms have become better organized during the past twelve (12) hours, and some gradual development is possible as the system moves over the Eastern Caribbean tomorrow,” it stated.
Met officials stated that the wave has already started to affect Barbados and will continue to spread cloudiness and occasional showers across the island over the next few days.
“Some pockets of moderate to heavy showers, scattered thunderstorms and gusty winds are likely to occur during the weekend,” stated the bulletin.
Small craft operators and sea bathers have been urged to exercise caution.
The department will continue to monitor the progress of this system. (CM/PR)
