Generally cooler, wetter conditions are in store of most sections of Jamaica today (June 22), officials say, as a tropical wave moves to dominate local weather.

The Jamaica Meteorological Service, in its 5:00 am forecast, also noted that a trough is expected to remain across the island over the next few days.

The Met Office advised that Jamaicans should expect a partly cloudy morning, later giving way to isolated showers and thunderstorms, particularly across sections of central and western parishes.

It will be windy especially across the south coast.

In its three-day outlook (Wednesday through Friday), the Jamaica Meteorological Service indicated that it expects isolated morning showers across sections of eastern parishes, partly cloudy elsewhere. There should be afternoon showers and thunderstorms sections of most parishes.

Additionally, a small craft warning remains in effect for inshore and offshore areas of the south coast for fisherfolk and marine interests.

The tropical wave, which straddles sections of Hispaniola, is the second system being watched by meteorologists in the region. No alerts or warnings have been activated concerning the tropical wave en route to the eastern Caribbean.
