An adverse weather alert yellow level is now in effect.
The Meteorological Service says it will last from 11pm Friday to 6pm on Saturday.
It said due to a surge of relatively strong winds in the lower levels of the atmosphere, there is a high potential for gusty winds in excess of 55km/hr to accompany intermittent showers and isolated thunderstorms.
The alert said activity is expected to initially affect Tobago and gradually spread across Trinidad.
It said while showery activity may be experienced by early night, more impactful activity is expected as the night progresses.
Street flooding is likely in heavy downpours.
Seas can become agitated especially in the vicinity of heavy showers/thunderstorms.
Members of the public are asked to secure any loose outdoor objects and continue to monitor weather conditions and updates from official sources via www.metoffice.gov.tt and www.odpm.gov.tt.
