Then, it is forecasting there will be more — and heavier — rain Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.
It said total rainfall could reach up to 50 millimetres by Wednesday morning.
It said winds are forecast to be weaker than those seen on the Island this weekend, and that it is unlikely wind warnings will be issued.
