The Bahamas Department of Meteorology has issued a Severe WEATHER WARNING from 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM WEDNESDAY 8TH APRIL 2026.  

A SEVERE WEATHER WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ABACO, SPECIFICALLY NEAR COOPER’S TOWN.

At 3:54 pm, lightning detection, observation, radar, and satellite imagery depicted a robust line of showers and embedded thunderstorms towards the warning areas. These showers and thunderstorms are associated with a frontal boundary and associated ample moisture.

Some of these showers will be locally heavy and thunderstorms will be strong to severe at times causing strong gusty winds, dangerous lightning, heavy downpours, possible hail, waterspout and/or tornadic activity. Localized flooding is also possible during these storms.

Boaters in the warning areas should seek safe harbor and residents 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.
