A powerful tropical wave is currently sweeping across the Lesser Antilles, with the southern islands bearing the brunt of its impact. The weather system is forecast to bring persistent moderate to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds throughout the region into the evening. Residents in areas susceptible to flooding, landslides, and rockfalls are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. Additionally, maritime conditions are expected to deteriorate over the next 12 to 24 hours, with wave heights reaching up to 7 feet along the west coast and nearly 10 feet on the east coast. In response, a Small Craft Warning has been issued, urging small vessel operators and sea-bathers to exercise extreme caution and stay alert to changing conditions.
