Tropical storm Iota to bring rains: According to the Meteorological Service, Jamaicans should look out for more rains this weekend.

A severe weather alert has been issued until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 14, due to a slow-moving tropical wave which has now become the season’s 31st tropical depression over the central Caribbean. 

According to the met office satellite imagery indicates that the system has a large area of showers and thunderstorms extending across sections of the eastern and central Caribbean which should begin to impact weather conditions over Jamaica by Friday afternoon and continue through Saturday and Sunday.

Thompson says the system is likely to enter Central America early next week, but progress so far has been slow, and the system could linger a while. 

The Met Office however says conditions over Jamaica should improve through next week.
