A flash flood watch means that moderate to major flooding is possible but not imminent in the watch area.

An area of disturbed weather that is being investigated for signs of tropical cyclone development southwest of the Leewards is forecast to move west-northwestwards and cause occasional rainbands and unstable conditions to move over the islands which could cause moderate to heavy rainfall in some places.
