Weather Outlook for Dominica and the Lesser Antilles
Valid from: 6:00 AM on Wednesday, November 11, 2020
A trough system is expected to continue to generate cloudiness, shower and thunderstorm activity, which could be moderate to heavy at times, mainly across the northern and central portions of the island chain, including Dominica, during the next 24 hours. Unstable conditions are projected to linger across the area throughout most of the week with a temporary break in showers expected tomorrow.
A Flood Warning is in effect for Dominica until 12 noon today, Wednesday 11th November, 2020. This warning may be extended if necessary. A flood warning means that flooding is already occurring or expected to occur during the period. People in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks are advised to be extremely vigilant and to exercise caution.
Meanwhile, a tropical wave was analyzed and introduced just east of the island chain and is expected to affect the area by Friday.
Moderate sea conditions are expected during the next 24 hours with waves peaking near 8.0ft. A small craft advisory is in effect. Small craft operators and sea bathers, particularly the east coast, are advised to exercise caution.
