Amid significant flooding along the northern section of Jamaica, a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for low-lying and flood-prone areas of all parishes.
It will continue until 5 o'clock this afternoon.
A Cold Front across the island is producing unstable weather conditions.
The forecast is for periods of showers and thunderstorms to affect sections of most parishes today into tomorrow.
Windy conditions are also expected mainly across sections of northern parishes.
St. Ann
There is now smooth flow of traffic in Runaway Bay, St Ann after a section of the main road was impassable due to rising water.
Sections of the parish have been affected by heavy rain since 2 o'clock this morning.
The main road between Discovery Bay and Runaway Bay was blocked by flood waters and debris in the vicinity of the Police Station.
Several houses and villas in the parish have also been flooded.
Trelawny
Several houses in Braco, Trelawny were inundated after a gully overflowed its banks due to the overnight rain.
Canute Grant, who is disabled, told RJR News that he was rescued from his house by a neighbour about 3 o'clock this morning.
Another resident, Denton White, said this is the second time in about three weeks that the community has been affected by flood waters.
Residents are attributing the flooding to blocked drains in the community.
They explained that heavy rain and wind caused silt and trees to block the drains.
NWA
Teams from the National Works Agency (NWA) are carrying out assessments in the affected parishes.
Stephen Shaw, NWA Communication Manager, reported that the agency had deployed heavy duty equipment to the affected locations to remove silt and debris.
Emergency drain cleaning will be carried out near Dunn's River in St Ann and in the vicinity of the Reynold's Pier, where heavy sitation is affecting the road.
Mr Shaw confirmed that some roads in Trelawny are also impassable.
