Persons in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks should be on the alert as tropical Storm Phillipe inches closer to the region.
Meteorologists say, rainfall accumulations between 1 to 2 inches are possible in parts of Dominica as a result of the passage of Phillipe.
A flood watch valid until 12 noon Tuesday October 3, 2023 is in place for Dominica and could be upgraded to a warning if necessary.
However, current model guidance indicates that tropical storm force winds associated with Phillipe, pose no direct threat to Dominica.
