The Department of Disaster Management issued a weather advisory Tuesday, April 14, warning that unstable conditions and additional rainfall are expected across the Virgin Islands, following significant downpours that brought up to 50 millimeters of rain in some areas on Monday.
Cloudy skies with morning showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms are forecast throughout the day, with conditions expected to become partly cloudy later in the afternoon. Temperatures are projected to reach about 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit), with southeast winds ranging from 8 to 18 miles per hour.
Marine conditions are expected to be moderate, with waves between 0.9 and 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet), occasionally reaching 1.8 meters (6 feet), prompting caution for small craft operators.
Forecasters said mostly cloudy conditions will persist into the night, with a slight chance of showers.
Authorities are advising residents to remain alert for minor flooding, particularly in low-lying areas, and to avoid driving through flooded roadways. Small vessels are urged to exercise extreme caution due to elevated sea conditions.
The advisory follows continued rainfall across the Territory, with officials encouraging the public to monitor updates through the Department of Disaster Management’s weather station and official channels.
