At its current speed, the axis of this wave should traverse Grenada late Thursday night into Friday, bringing mostly cloudy conditions late Thursday into Friday with light to moderate showers. There is also a low chance of lightning and thunder.
Therefore, the Meteorological Office has issued an advisory for a low chance of flooding and/or landslides in vulnerable areas for Friday morning.
The Meteorological Service will continue to monitor these systems and provide updates in a timely manner.
Elsewhere, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 2 days.
The next update will be issued at 2 pm.
