Antigua and Barbuda are experiencing relentless rainfall this morning, with unstable weather conditions linked to Tropical Storm Jerry still affecting the region. Meteorologists have reported that Jerry has shifted northwest and is gradually moving away from the Leeward Islands. Consequently, the tropical storm watch for Antigua and the warning for Barbuda have been lifted. However, residual moisture from the storm continues to trigger heavy showers and thunderstorms across both islands. Forecasts predict rainfall totals ranging from 19 to 50 millimeters (0.75 to 2 inches), heightening the risk of flash flooding in low-lying or flood-prone areas. A flash flood advisory remains in effect until 8 a.m., with authorities urging residents to exercise caution, avoid flooded roads, and stay updated on further weather developments. The situation underscores the need for vigilance as the region copes with the aftermath of the storm.
