ESTA TARDE...LA BOYA 41043...LOCALIZADA COMO A 180 MILLAS AL NORTE 
DE ST.THOMAS...HA MOSTRADO UN AUMENTO EN MAREJADAS DEL ESTE NORESTE 
DE PERIODO LARGO. ESTAS MAREJADAS DEL ESTE NORESTE COMENZARAN A 
LLEGAR A LAS COSTAS DEL NORTE Y NORESTE PARA LA PUESTA DEL SOL...Y 
PRODUCIR UN AUMENTO EN LA ALTURA DE LAS OLAS ROMPIENTES A TRAVES DE 
LOS ARRECIFES LOCALES...DUNAS...Y PLAYAS.

ESTAS MAREJADAS DE PERIODO LARGO PRODUCIRAN OLAS ROMPIENTES DE 10  
15 PIES Y OCASIONALMENTE MAS ALTAS A LO LARGO DE LOS ARRECIFES...Y 
DUNAS...Y OLAS DE 7 A 9 PIES A TRAVES DE LAS PLAYAS LOCALES EL 
MIERCOLES EN LA TARDE. POR LO TANTO...UNA ADVERTENCIA DE RESACA 
FUERTE HA SIDO EMITIDA.

ESTAS OLAS ROMPIENTES GENERARAN FUERTES Y PELIGROSAS CORRIENTES 
DENTRO DE LA ZONA DONDE LAS OLAS ROMPEN...LLAMADAS CORRIENTES 
SUBMARINAS. ESTAS CORRIENTES ESTRECHAS QUE FLUYEN MAR AFUERA PUEDEN 
ARRASTRAR PERSONAS Y ANIMALES ALEJANDOLOS DE LA COSTA A TRAVES DE LA 
ZONA DONDE LAS OLAS ROMPEN HACIA EL MAR ABIERTO. SI SE VE ATRAPADO 
POR UNA CORRIENTE SUBMARINA...NO ENTRE EN PANICO. CON CALMA... 
MANTENGASE A FLOTE...LOCALICE SU POSICION RELATIVA A LA PLAYA...Y 
NADE DE LADO O PARALELO A LA PLAYA. EVENTUALMENTE SALDRA DEL AGARRE 
DE ESTA CORRIENTE ESTRECHA...Y PODRA NADAR A SALVO HASTA LA COSTA.

SE LE ADVIERTE A LOS BANISTAS...LOS QUE PRACTICAN DEPORTES ACUATICOS 
Y NADADORES INEXPERTOS A PERMANECER FUERA DEL AGUA HASTA QUE ESTAS 
CONDICIONES DE RESACAS PELIGROSAS DISMINUYAN. LAS PERSONAS EN LAS 
PLAYAS DEBEN ESTAR ALERTAS A LAS GRANDES OLAS ROMPIENTES QUE AZOTAN 
LA COSTA...LAS CUALES PUEDEN ARRASTRAR PERSONAS DE CUALQUIER TAMANO 
MAR AFUERA HACIA EL OCEANO. DEBE EVITAR ESTAR CERCA DE LA LINEA 
COSTERA Y PERMANECER LEJOS DE LAS FORMACIONES ROCOSAS.

ESTAS OLAS ROMPIENTES TAMBIEN CREARAN EL POTENCIAL PARA EROSION DE 
PLAYAS DURANTE LAS HORAS DE MAREA ALTA. 

LA HORA DE LAS MAREAS ALTAS PARA LOS SIGUIENTES LUGARES SON:

BAHIA DE SAN JUAN:  4:49 PM AST ESTA TARDE Y 5:59 AM EL MIERCOLES EN

ST THOMAS...CONTINUED TO SHOW BUILDING SEAS AND AN INCREASE IN
LONG PERIOD EAST NORTHEAST SWELLS. THESE SWELLS ARE EXPECTED TO
REACH THE LOCAL NORTH AND NORTHEAST COASTLINES OVERNIGHT THROUGH

THE EAST NORTHEAST SWELLS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTING COASTAL SECTIONS
OF PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS ARE SLOWLY
SUBSIDING...AND HAVE FALLEN JUST BELOW HIGH SURF ADVISORY

CANCELED.

WHILE SEAS REMAIN JUST BELOW HIGH SURF ADVISORY CRITERIA...A MODERATE
RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS EXIST FOR THE NORTHERN COASTAL AREAS OF
PUERTO RICO AND NORTHERN COASTS OF THE LOCAL ISLANDS.

IN ADDITION...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR BOTH THE
LOCAL ATLANTIC AND THE CARIBBEAN WATERS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
1209 PM AST TUE APR 1 2008

.UPDATE...VARIABLY CLOUDY SKIES PREVAILED OVER PUERTO RICO THIS
MORNING. AT THE MOMENT THE DOPPLER AND SATELLITE IMAGES ARE SHOWING
A CLEARING ACROSS THE LOCAL SKIES. AT 1155 AM THE ASOS AT SAN JUAN
REPORTED SUSTAINED WINDS OF 22 KNOTS AND WIND GUSTS OF 26 KNOTS.
THESE WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE LOCAL
ISLANDS AND AT ALL LOCAL TAF SITES THROUGH TONIGHT. HOWEVER...MVFR
CONDITIONS ARE PROBABLE IN SCATTERED TO LOCALLY NUMEROUS PASSING
SHRA. ALSO...BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS AND LOCAL MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS
ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE IN A COUPLE OF STRONGER SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOCAL ISLANDS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 615 AM AST TUE APR 1 2008/

DISCUSSION...LOOKS LIKE LOCAL AREA SHOULD REMAIN IN AN AREA OF
WEAKENED MID LEVEL CAPPING THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY AND POSSIBLY
BEYOND...AS MID TO ESPECIALLY UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS REMAINS
LOCATED JUST TO THE WEST THROUGH NORTHWEST OF THE LOCAL AREA...
MAINTAINING A STRONG BAND OF WESTERLIES ACROSS THE FA...ALONG
WITH AN EMBEDDED SERIES OF DISTURBANCES THAT WILL ALSO AFFECT THE
LOCAL ISLANDS. THESE MORE FAVORABLE MID TO UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS
WILL COMBINE WITH STRONG APRIL SUN...LOCAL TERRAIN EFFECTS...AND
AVAILABLE MOISTURE...BUT ONLY LIMITED LOCAL SEA BREEZE
CONVERGENCE THE NEXT FEW DAYS DUE TO A MODERATE TO STRONG TRADE
WIND FLOW. NONETHELESS...THERE SHOULD BE SOME CLOUDINESS...
SCATTERED TO LOCALLY NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN INTERIOR
AND WEST SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO EACH AFTERNOON.

AS WE HAVE BEEN MENTIONING...DESPITE PRETTY GOOD DYNAMICS...THE
AMOUNT OF DIURNALLY INDUCED CONVECTION WILL PROBABLY STILL BE
DICTATED BY THE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE MOISTURE EACH DAY. FOR TODAY
AND TONIGHT...A LOW LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND ITS ASSOCIATED MOISTURE
WILL MOVE ACROSS OR JUST SOUTH OF THE LOCAL ISLANDS...BUT SHOULD
BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO COMBINE WITH AFOREMENTIONED FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS...TO PRODUCE A DECENT AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY ACROSS THE
LOCAL ISLANDS THROUGHOUT TODAY. AFTER TODAY...MODELS HAVE ALTERED
SOLUTIONS AGAIN SLIGHTLY AND IT NOW APPEARS THAT THE DRIEST AIR
MAY REMAIN JUST TO OUR NORTH THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY...KEEPING
SOME MOISTURE ACROSS THE FA...WITH A BRIEF...DRY BREAK FRIDAY OR
FRIDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY MORE MOISTURE FOR SATURDAY. THIS
SHOULD GENERALLY CONTINUE THE MORE UNSETTLED TREND...BUT AGAIN
WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE ONLY SMALL CHANGES TO THE GRIDDED FORECASTS
AND TEXT PRODUCTS...AS WE WAIT FOR ADDITIONAL MODEL SOLUTION
ALTERATIONS.

MARINE...GENERALLY EXPECT WINDS OF 18 TO 25 KNOTS ACROSS THE
REGIONAL WATERS THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY. SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO
BUILD STEADILY THE NEXT FEW DAYS...IN WIND GENERATED WAVES AND
LONG PERIOD...NORTHEAST SWELLS. THIS WILL MAKE FOR INCREASINGLY
HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS NOW IN
EFFECT FOR ALL OF THE LOCAL ATLANTIC AND CARIBBEAN WATERS FOR
TODAY.
