Most parishes will continue to experience intermittent showers and isolated thunderstorms until this afternoon, as a trough continues to generate unstable weather across the western Caribbean. 

The Meteorological Service says western parishes may experience windy conditions. Mostly cloudy conditions, with periods of showers and thunderstorms with winds are expected this afternoon.   

A flash flood watch, announced on Thursday, remains in effect until 5:00 p.m. today.
