Flash Flood Watch starts by midday today

CHRISTIANSTEDA Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, the National Weather Service said this morning.

A wet and unstable weather pattern with an elevated to significant flooding risk is expected, according to the NWS.

This is due to a combination of an exceptional tropical moisture pattern, a lingering frontal boundary to the north, persistent southerly winds bringing additional tropical moisture, and the passage of a tropical wave.
