AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
313 PM AST MON AUG 22 2011

.SYNOPSIS...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE IRENE WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE
19.3 NORTH...LONGITUDE 68.1 WEST. IRENE IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-
NORTHWEST NEAR 12 MPH. AS HURRICANE IRENE MOVES AWAY FROM THE
LOCAL REGION WILL DRAG MOISTURE OVER THE LOCAL REGION AND INCREASE
THE SHOWER COVERAGE ACROSS THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA.

&&

.DISCUSSION...RAINBANDS BEHIND HURRICANE IRENE WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE
RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF BETWEEN 2 TO 4 INCHES. THIS RAINFALL WILL RESULT
IN CONTINUED RISES OF LOCAL RIVERS...STREAMS...AND GUTS WHICH WILL
FURTHER WORSEN AREAS ALREADY IMPACTED BY SIGNIFICANT FLOODING. WITH
THE SUPER SATURATED SOLIS...MUDSLIDES AND DEBRIS FLOWS REMAINS A
CONCERN IN AREAS OF STEEP TERRAIN.

ALTHOUGH IRENE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE LOCAL AREA IN THE
NEXT 12 HOURS...MOISTURE ASSOCIATED TO THIS TROPICAL SYSTEM WILL
LINGER OVER THE LOCAL REGION THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY. ON
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...ENOUGH HEATING WILL OCCUR TO GENERATE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERS TOMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF PUERTO RICO.
INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING TO OCCUR.

&&

.AVIATION...WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IMPROVING
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. EXPECT MOSTLY MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL
TERMINALS.

&&

.MARINE...HURRICANE IRENE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE OVER THE LOCAL ATLANTIC
WATERS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...BRINGING HAZARDOUS WIND AND SEA CONDITIONS
ACROSS MOST OF THE REGIONAL WATERS. ALTHOUGH HURRICANE IRENE CONTINUE
TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE LOCAL WATERS...MARINERS SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT
AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
