The Meteorological Service (Met Service) of Jamaica says a tropical wave moving across the island today is expected to cause adverse weather.

In a tweet this afternoon, the Met Service said that the tropical wave will develop into a broad area of low-pressure southwest of the island on Thursday and linger through to early Saturday.

As a result, the Met Service said to expect an increase in showers, thunderstorms, and strong gusty winds during this period.
