The fol­low­ing is the bul­letin is­sued by the Met Ser­vice to 10:00 am, to­day, cov­er­ing the pe­ri­od: this af­ter­noon and tonight…

TRINIDAD, TO­BA­GO AND THE WIND­WARD IS­LANDS

This af­ter­noon will be gen­er­al­ly cloudy with the like­li­hood of a few pe­ri­ods of rain­fall. There is al­so a medi­um (40% to 60%) chance of iso­lat­ed heavy show­ers or thun­der­storm ac­tiv­i­ty. Con­di­tions should be­gin to set­tle as evening ap­proach­es.

Tonight will be gen­er­al­ly set­tled de­spite show­ers over few ar­eas and the low (30%) chance of the odd iso­lat­ed thun­der­storm. Street/flash/flash flood­ing and gusty winds are pos­si­ble in the event of heavy show­ers.

Ad­verse Weath­er Alert #2 – Yel­low Lev­el is in ef­fect un­til 8:00 pm to­day, for Trinidad and To­ba­go and sur­round­ing ma­rine ar­eas.

Con­di­tions on Wednes­day evening and overnight were ex­pect­ed to be gen­er­al­ly set­tled apart from a few in­ter­vals of show­ers and the odd thun­der­storm. The most in­tense ac­tiv­i­ty will like­ly re­main off­shore at times, how­ev­er pe­ri­ods of rain and/or show­ers of vary­ing in­ten­si­ties are still ex­pect­ed, es­pe­cial­ly from late morn­ing/ear­ly af­ter­noon on Thurs­day, No­vem­ber 24.

There is a medi­um to high (60 to 70%) chance of heavy show­ers and thun­der­storms that can pro­duce in­tense rain­fall above 25 mm. The land is very sat­u­rat­ed, so the risk of street/flash flood­ing, lo­cal­ized pond­ing and land­slides/land­slips will be high­er. Gusty winds in ex­cess of 55 km/h may be ex­pe­ri­enced, es­pe­cial­ly in the vicin­i­ty of heavy show­ers/thun­der­storms.

In­struc­tions:     Do not wade or dri­ve through flood wa­ters. Se­cure loose out­door items and live­stock. Mon­i­tor weath­er con­di­tions and of­fi­cial up­dates.

River­ine Flood Alert #3 – Yel­low Lev­el is in ef­fect un­til 8:00 pm to­day, for the Ca­roni Riv­er Basin and its trib­u­taries and the North Oropouche Riv­er.

Af­ter Wednes­day's rain­fall event, riv­er lev­els along the Ca­roni and North Oropouche Rivers con­tin­ued to rise and are cur­rent­ly above 80%, with El Car­men be­ing at a crit­i­cal lev­el of 93%. Weath­er con­di­tions were ex­pect­ed to set­tle dur­ing the night; how­ev­er, oc­ca­sion­al in­ter­vals of heavy show­ers were still like­ly there­after. This ad­di­tion­al rain­fall can keep the riv­er lev­els el­e­vat­ed so there re­mains a mod­er­ate risk to pub­lic safe­ty, liveli­hood and prop­er­ty.

In­struc­tions:     Care­ful­ly mon­i­tor weath­er con­di­tions and riv­er/wa­ter lev­els. Mon­i­tor up­dates from of­fi­cial sources and plan safe­ty mea­sures, in­clud­ing emer­gency sup­plies of food and wa­ter. Do not take un­nec­es­sary risks. Fol­low the in­struc­tions of gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials.
