THE Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) issues an adverse weather alert Yellow Level from today at 6 pm to 5 pm Saturday.
TTMS stated, “There is a high (70%) chance of brisk isolated heavy showers/thunderstorms with accompanying gusty winds in excess of 55km per hour.
“These wind gusts will be brief but are capable of breaking tree branches, displacing unsecured roofs and loose outdoor objects, and can even topple over unhealthy trees. Street flooding is also likely in heavy downpours and seas can become additionally agitated in strong winds.”
In addition, small craft operators should be on the alert for above normal or choppy sea conditions in strong winds.
Persons are asked to secure loose items outdoors and livestock. They should also monitor weather conditions and updates from official sources via www.metoffice.gov.tt and www.odpm.gov.tt
