Flash-flood watch issued as tropical wave passes

A tropical wave to the east of Barbados has the potential to generate significant rainfall and flash-flooding as it begins moving over the island tonight, and as a result, the Barbados Meteorological Services has issued a flash-flood watch

The wave has been generating significant rainfall and thunderstorm activity just off the island throughout the day. As this feature nears Barbados tonight, similar activity will become possible over the island, which could generate flooding across low-lying areas.

Unstable conditions are predicted to peak near midnight with the potential for significant rainfall lasting into the morning.
