Description: This is the last update as it pertains to Potential Tropical Cyclone #2. The Tropical Storm Warning has been discontinued for Trinidad and Tobago. At 11:00 pm tonight, the centre of Potential Tropical Cyclone Two (PTC2) was located near 10.9ºN latitude 62.8ºW longitude which is 175 km to the west of the Trinidad.

Hence, Tropical Storm conditions are no longer expected. However, a moist and unstable atmosphere exists and convergence behind the disturbance (PTC#2) is still likely to produce persistent periods of rainfall and patches of heavy showers and/or thunderstorms. These heavy showers/thunderstorms can produce gusty winds in excess of 55 km/h and rainfall accumulations in excess of 25 mm in some areas.

Ponding and localized street flooding are also possible. The risk of landslides/landslips is possible in areas so prone. Sea conditions can become agitated in heavy showers and thunderstorms.

Instructions Secure loose outdoor items and livestock. Do not wade or drive through floodwaters. Monitor river levels. Those with marine interest should exercise caution. Follow the instructions of Government Officials. More information: www.metoffice.gov.tt/; www.odpm.gov.tt
