...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS CANCELLED...

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO HAS BEEN
CANCELLED.

WHILE RECENT RAINS ON FRIDAY RESULTED IN EXCEPTIONALLY MOIST SOILS
AND RIVERS THAT CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH...THE LACK OF RAINFALL ACROSS
THE ISLAND TODAY DUE TO LIMITED HEATING WARRANTS A CANCELLATION
OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THAT WAS HOISTED EARLIER TODAY FOR
POTENTIAL FLOODING.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STRESSES THAT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
WILL BE POSSIBLE TOMORROW THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK...INCREASING THE CHANCES FOR ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING. THE
SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEAVY RAINFALL ON FRIDAY HAS NOT
RETREATED THE AREA AND CAN TRIGGER ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL.
THEREFORE...RESIDENTS AND VISITORS MUST REMAIN AWARE THAT THE
POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING WITHIN THE NEXT
FEW DAYS.
