Tropical Storm Could Bring Flash Flooding to Caribbean

Saturday, 12 Dec, 2007 0

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.

The government of the Dominican Republic has issued a tropical storm warning for the northern coast of the Dominican Republic from Cabo Engaño westward to Bahio de Manzanillo.

A tropical storm watch is in effect for the southern coast of the Dominican Republic from Cabo Engano to Punta Palenque, according to AccuWeather.
