Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
225 PM AST Sat Oct 29 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A mid-upper level high pressure will persist over the region
through at least Monday. The ridge will erode over the area
through the upcoming work week, when a mid-upper level trough
amplified over the region. The mid-upper level trough is expected
to linger through the work week. At low levels...a south easterly
wind flow is expected to prevailed until Sunday, when winds are
expected shift more from the south. A surface low pressure is
expected to linger across the area between Tuesday and Thursday.
This surface low along with the trofiness aloft will produce
enough instability to enhance in the development of showers and
thunderstorms each day.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
A broad mid to upper level high continues to influence the local
weather conditions. However, plenty of moisture combined with
local effects and diurnal heating is resulting in showers and
thunderstorms. This activity should be focused across the
interior, west and north sections of Puerto Rico. Urban and small
stream flooding are likely due to the already saturated soils and
slow moving showers and thunderstorms. In addition, pedestrians
and motorist should remain alert to rapid rising of water levels
and ponding of water on roadways and heed to any road closures.
The San Juan Metro area can expect showers and maybe locally
induced isolated thunderstorms. Although, the U.S. Virgin Islands
should continue to see a mixture of Sunshine and clouds during
the rest of the day, showers can be expected downwind from the
islands.
Ridge aloft will erode next workweek as a broad upper level
trough develops across the tropical Atlantic and into the
Caribbean basin. In addition, a surface low pressure is expected
to linger across the islands between Tuesday and Thursday. This
will result in deep tropical moisture pooling across the forecast
area Tuesday-Thursday with a rainy weather pattern possible.
&&
.AVIATION...
MVFR conds will remain possible at PR and USVI TAF sites till
29/22z as locally induced SHRA/ isolated TSRA prevails across the
area. Elsewhere, VFR conds expected. ESE winds around 10 knots
with sea breeze variations till 29/22z becoming light and variable
overnight.
&&
.MARINE...There is a moderate to high risk of rip currents along
the north coastline of Puerto Rico and the Northern U.S. Virgin
Islands. Small boat operators should exercise caution across the
Atlantic waters due to seas up to 6 feet. Elsewhere, seas up to 5
feet and seas below 18 knots.
