UPDATE: Flash-flood warning extended

The flash-flood warning which is in effect for Barbados will be terminated at 6 a.m.

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.

Maximum rainfall accumulations of 25 to 50mm in moderate to heavy showers are expected as a shear line feature affects the island during the night. (PR/SAT)
