Jamaica Could Receive Up to 36 Hrs of Rainfall if Hurricane Matthew Hits!
On Thursday (September 29), tropical storm Matthew continued to strengthen to become the fifth hurricane of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season.
As of Thursday evening, the powerful storm was located 150 miles north-northeast of Curaçao.
Current computer generated projections still predict the hurricane to impact Jamaica between between Sunday and Monday.
The storm is also expected to bring a massive amount of rain.
According to The Observer, Director of the country’s Meteorological (Met) Service Division, Evan Thompson, says the country is likely to experience 24-36 hours of rainfall if the threatening category one Hurricane Matthew strikes.
Thompson also stated that the Met Service is confident in the computer generated path hence it expects Matthew to continue heading westward then south before making a dramatic turn to the north then moving in a north westward direction over Jamaica.
