Due to the presence of Tropical Storm Erika in the vicinity of the Leeward Islands, isolated moderate to heavy showers may develop over Saint Lucia. There is a possibility of flash flooding and landslides over some parts of the island, especially the Soufriere area where significant rainfall has occurred over the past few hours.

The Saint Lucia Meteorological Services has therefore issued a flood warning for Saint Lucia with effect from 3:45 p.m. today until further notice.

Residents and motorists especially those in areas prone to flooding and landslides are urged to exercise extreme caution in their activities.

All residents of Saint Lucia are asked to pay attention to further announcements from the Saint Lucia Meteorological Services and NEMO.  

Tropical Storm Erika can be monitored here.
