The Meteorological Service of Jamaica is reporting that an area of disturbed weather is expected to bring increased rainfall across Jamaica on Sunday through to Wednesday of next week.
The broad area of disturbed weather currently across the south-western Caribbean Sea is expected to develop into an area of low pressure by Saturday afternoon, a release from the Met Service said on Friday.
"This area of disturbed weather currently has a 30 per cent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone over the next 48 hours, and the Meteorological Service will be closely monitoring this system for further development," the release further said.
The system is forecast to move slowly northward then north-westward over the next two days, and be in the vicinity of Jamaica by Sunday night.
"Regardless of development, the area of low pressure seems increasingly likely to bring unstable weather to Jamaica, beginning Sunday night through to Wednesday evening," the Met Service stated.
"Consequently, the forecast is for cloudy conditions with periods of showers and thunderstorms, which may be heavy at times, and strong gusty winds, to affect sections of most parishes, especially eastern and south-central parishes, during this period," it added.
Fishers and other marine interests are being advised to exercise extreme caution, as sea conditions are expected to deteriorate in the vicinity of showers, thunderstorms and strong gusty winds.
