AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
232 PM AST TUE JUL 20 2010

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW LOCATED NORTH NORTHWEST OF THE LOCAL
AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WILL LIFT FURTHER WEST NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...AS UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDS INTO THE NORTHEAST
CARIBBEAN. AN ACTIVE TROPICAL WAVE ACROSS CENTRAL HISPANIOLA THIS
AFTERNOON...WILL MOVE SLOWLY WEST NORTHWEST TONIGHT AWAY FROM THE
LOCAL AREA.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THE DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR DETECTED NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN PUERTO RICO...VIEQUES...
CULEBRA...THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND THE SURROUNDING WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY WAS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ACTIVE TROPICAL
WAVE...ACROSS CENTRAL HISPANIOLA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WAVE WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK WEST NORTHWESTWARD AND AWAY FROM THE REGION
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE IN A GENERALLY
SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW BEHIND THIS WAVE...WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SOME WITH
VERY HEAVY RAINFALL...ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION DURING THE REST OF
THE AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...AS TRAILING MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE ISLANDS. EXPECT URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING TO OCCUR
WITH THE TRAILING MOISTURE OF THE WAVE AND THE POTENTIAL STILL
EXISTS FOR FLASH AND RIVER FLOODING...AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
CLOSELY MONITORED. SEVERAL FLOOD ADVISORIES AND FLASH FLOOD WARNING
WERE ISSUED SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON FOR VIEQUES...CULEBRA AND FOR THE
U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS STILL IN EFFECT FOR ALL
OF PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS UNTIL THIS EVENING.

THE GFS MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT ABUNDANT CLOUDINESS WILL
PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK. IN FACT THE
GFS DEVELOPS THIS TROPICAL WAVE AS TROPICAL CYCLONE ACROSS THE
EASTERN BAHAMAS BY THURSDAY. IF THIS SITUATION VERIFY...TRAILING
MOISTURE OR FEEDING BANKS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY AND
EARLY FRIDAY...MAINTAINING THE PRESENT WET WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE
REST OF THE WORK WEEK. A RELATIVELY "DRIER" AIR MASS WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE EAST LATE FRIDAY...DECREASING THE CHANCES
OF SHOWERS. IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS REASONING THE GFS FORECAST
SOUNDING SUGGESTS PWAT VALUES ABOVE 2.0 INCHES UNTIL LATE THURSDAY
DECREASING BELOW 2.0 INCHES BY THE WEEKEND.
