The Barbados Meteorological Services has issued a Flash-Flood Warning for Barbados as a tropical wave continues to affect the island, producing moderate to heavy showers.
The BMS said the showers are expected to produce between two and three inches of rainfall, creating a high possibility of significant flooding, particularly in low-lying areas.
The rainfall could result in runoff from higher elevations, soil erosion and land slippage on exposed or scarred surfaces, and water accumulation on roads and fields.
