NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
1202 PM AST WED SEP 16 2009

.UPDATE...
MID TO UPPER LEVEL LOW LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF THE LOCAL
AREA OR SOUTH OF THE MONA ISLAND IS ENHANCING SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE DISCUSSION AREA...ESPECIALLY OVER
THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE ISLAND. ALSO...SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN OVER PARTS OF THE SAN JUAN METROPOLITAN
AREA.

THE COMBINATION OF ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ARRIVING TO THE
LOCAL ISLANDS AND COASTAL WATERS UNDER A LIGHT TO GENTLE EAST
SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW WITH MID TO UPPER LEVEL FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN AN ACTIVE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE
LOCAL ISLANDS AND REGIONAL WATERS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE LOCAL
CARIBBEAN SEA. AS THE TIME PROGRESSES...MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE ISLAND. SOME OF THESE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE STRONG...RESULTING IN MINOR FLASHY FLOOD
CONDITIONS ACROSS ROADWAYS...LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND
URBAN LOCALITIES.

AS OF NOW...THURSDAY WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE PROJECTED TO BE BETTER
WITH LOCALLY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY FOR THE
WESTERN INTERIOR SECTION OF PUERTO RICO.

ACROSS THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS...SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT PARTS OF THE ISLANDS... BUT
MAINLY THE SOUTH AND WESTERN COASTAL AREAS. MOST OF THE HEAVIEST
ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN OVER THE LOCAL CARIBBEAN WATERS.

&&

.AVIATION...
BRIEFLY MVFR AND TEMPO IFR CONDITIONS COULD OCCUR
ACROSS TJSJ...TJBQ...TJMZ AND TJPS FROM 16Z TO ABOUT 23Z AS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVE OVER OR CLOSE BY THESE INDIVIDUAL
RUNWAYS. EXPECT AN ACTIVE WEATHER AFTERNOON ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA.
FOR THE REST OF THE LOCAL TAF SITES...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS AT LEAST. HOWEVER...A FEW SHOWERS MAY
AFFECT THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF SAINT THOMAS AND SAINT CROIX LATER
