AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
303 PM AST TUE FEB 10 2009

.DISCUSSION...SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOW REMNANTS OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR
LINE...THE LINGERING MOISTURE FROM AN OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY HANGING
AROUND OVER THE ATLC WATERS/N COAST PR. STORM TOTAL ESTIMATES FROM
DOPPLER RADAR SHOWING OVER 5 INCHES LIKELY FELL OVER THE N COAST
FROM TOA BAJA TO THE ARECIBO AREA LAST NIGHT. THE HEAVIEST TOTALS WERE
IN DORADO AND ARECIBO. THESE ARE THE AREAS OF CONCERN THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MOISTURE FROM THE SHEAR LINE WILL PUSH DOWN OVER THE NORTH COAST
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...UNFORTUNATELY BRINGING MORE RAIN TO
AREAS HIT HARD LAST NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE GOOD NEWS IS THE LLVL WINDS
ARE MUCH STRONGER TODAY...IN THE 25 KNOT RANGE. THIS WILL RESULT IN
MUCH FASTER STORM MOTION...AND LESS FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL.
NEVERTHELESS...EXPECT NUMEROUS SHOWERS...SOME HEAVY OVER THE NORTH
COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MEANWHILE...DEEP LAYERED HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING OVER THE SW
ATLC...FORCING THE MOISTURE SOUTHWARD. AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS THIS AFTERNOON...WINDS WILL INCREASE AND THE MOISTURE
BOUNDARY WILL PUSH OVER THE ISLAND...AND FINALLY SOUTH OF THE AREA
BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.  FROM THEN TOWARDS THE WEEKEND...LOOKS LIKE
A RETURN TO BEAUTIFUL CARIBBEAN WINTER WEATHER...WITH ONLY MINOR
PATCHES OF MOISTURE AND LIGHT SHOWERS...BUT GENERALLY BACK TO DRY
AND STABLE.

&&

.AVIATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT WITH VCSH. MAIN OPERATIONAL IMPACT WILL BE THE WINDS WITH
GUSTS TO 25 KT ALG THE NORTH COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND INCREASING UP
TO 35 KT TOMORROW ESPECIALLY AT TJBQ AND USVI.

&&

.MARINE...QUICKSCAT AND BUOY 41403 DATA CONFIRMING 20-25 KNOT WINDS
OVER THE OFFSHORE ATLC WATERS. THESE WINDS WILL PUSH SOUTH...OVER
THE ISLANDS AND SPREAD THROUGH ALL WATERS TONIGHT. SEAS ARE ALREADY
RESPONDING...CURRENTLY 10 FOOT HIGHLY CHOPPY SEAS OCCURRING AT THE
BUOY. 25 TO 30 KNOTS OVER ALL WATERS THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT...AND OVER THE CARIBBEAN WATERS ONLY BY WED AFTERNOON
THROUGH THURSDAY.
