NASSAU, The Bahamas - Severe weather warning:

The Bahamas Department of Meteorology has issued a severe thunderstorm warning from 2:45pm edt until 6:00pm Monday 30th June 2014.

A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for Andros, the Berry Islands, Abaco, Grand Bahama and their adjacent waters.

At 2:40pm observation, radar and satellite imagery depicted large clusters of thunderstorms associated with a low pressure system near the extreme Northwest Bahamas.

Some of these thunderstorms will be severe at times causing strong gusty winds, dangerous lightning, heavy downpours, hail and possible waterspout or tornadic activity.

Boaters in the warning area should seek safe harbour and residents in the warning area should stay indoors and away from windows when conditions worsen. Residents should not seek shelter under trees or in water as these can become lightning conductors.
