An Adverse Weather Alert, Yellow Level is currently in place for Trinidad.
The Met Service said daytime heating in an unstable atmosphere will couple with a low level trough to give a medium to high (60% to 70%) chance of strong afternoon thunderstorm activity mainly over but not confined to western Trinidad.
While thunderstorms are in the forecast, a favourable wind regime is expected to develop by afternoon which can enhance this activity.
Impacts can include isolated flash flooding as well as street flooding and localized ponding. These can cause temporary traffic disruptions. Landslips are possible in areas so prone.
Gusty winds are less likely but can still be expected near heavy downpours. A lull in activity is expected during late afternoon/evening but there are indications of similar activity with the ITCZ towards early morning (9am) favouring southern Trinidad and gradually affecting the rest of the island.
