The Meteorological Service Division is advising that a tropical storm warning remains in effect for Jamaica, but could be lifted as soon, as Elsa moves away. Widespread rainfall, associated with the outer bands of tropical storm Elsa continues to affect the island.
While Elsa is moving away, periods of heavy rainfall will linger across the island, this evening into tonight, flash flooding and possible landslides could still occur in low-lying and flood-prone areas on Sunday, June 4, 2021. Several scenes across the corporate area of inundated roads. On Marcus Garvey Drive, Trench Town, Cross Roads, Spanish Town Road, Deanery Road, Maxfield – were all rendered impassable.
The residents say fortunately the water receded quicker this year than it did in last years’ torrential downpour. The People’s National Party (PNP) councilor candidate for the Duhaney Park Division was on location.
Hours after the Met service informed the public that the tropical storm warning for Jamaica has been discontinued as tropical storm Elsa continues to move farther away from the island.
