Tropical Storm Could Bring Flash Flooding to Caribbean
An area of “disturbed weather” near the Virgin Islands is becoming better organized and should bring heavy rain to the area in the next two days, according to reports by AccuWeather.com on Monday.
The storm has organized to become subtropical storm Olga and could also threaten Puerto Rico.
“The main threat from Olga will be the potential flash flooding and mudslides the heavy rain brings, especially in and near the mountainous regions,” said AccuWeather.
“By Wednesday, the combined effects of Olga passing over land and becoming under the influence of shearing, should weaken and gradually dissipate the storm,” the site added.
Moisture from Olga may bring an increase in shower activity to the Bahamas and parts of Florida later in the week.
