A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for low-lying and flood-prone areas of all parishes until 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
The Meteorological Service says a Broad Trough across the central Caribbean has been producing a large area of unstable weather across the region, including Jamaica, since Monday.
This system is expected to remain across the area for the remainder of this week while bringing increased rainfall to Jamaica.
The forecast is for periods of showers and thunderstorms to continue affecting sections of most parishes Wednesday, with most of the activities across central and eastern parishes.
Additionally, fishers and other marine interests should exercise caution as sea conditions will deteriorate due to thunderstorms and strong gusty winds.
A Flash Flood Warning means flooding has been reported or will occur shortly. Motorists and pedestrians should not attempt to cross flooded roadways or other low-lying areas, as strong currents are likely.
Residents in low-lying areas should be on the alert for rising waters and be ready to move quickly to higher ground.
