The National Meteorological Service has revealed that the country should see an increase in rainfall beginning Sunday evening and continuing to Wednesday.
A broad area of disturbed weather currently across the southwestern Caribbean Sea, is expected to develop into an area of low pressure by this afternoon.
This system is forecast to move slowly northward then northwestward and be in the vicinity of Jamaica by Sunday night.
Regardless of development, the area of low pressure seems increasingly likely to bring unstable weather to Jamaica beginning tomorrow night through to Wednesday evening.
The Met Service says the forecast is for cloudy conditions with periods of showers and thunderstorms, which may be heavy at times, and strong gusty winds to affect sections of most parishes, especially eastern and south-central parishes during this period.
Fishers and other marine interests should exercise extreme caution as sea conditions will deteriorate in the vicinity of showers, thunderstorms, and strong gusty winds.
This area of disturbed weather currently has a 30% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone over the next 48 hours.
The Met Service says it is closely monitoring this system for further development.
