Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
929 PM AST MON JUL 18 2016

.UPDATE...A couple of tropical waves will move quickly across the
local region through Wednesday. A weak tropical wave will cross
the area on Tuesday followed by a stronger tropical wave on Wednesday.
Moisture will remain above normal over the next 48 hours. This high
moisture content combined with somewhat unstable environment will
result in showers and thunderstorms across the local islands. The
best moisture convergence will likely occur with the second wave...
resulting in more shower and thunderstorm coverage. In summary...
rounds of showers across the windward areas at night and early in
the morning followed by active afternoons with showers and thunderstorms
developing across the Cordillera Central, west and north Puerto
Rico. More stable conditions expected on Thursday and Friday as
drier air mass with Saharan Dust spreads over the region.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR conds will prevail most of the forecast period.
However...brief MVFR conds are possible in passing SHRA overnight
across the USVI and Leeward Terminals. TSRA will develop near
TJMZ and TJBQ between 19/17Z-21Z. East winds of 15-30 kts expected
below FL100.

&&

.MARINE...Tropical waves combined with a surface high pressure
building over the Central Atlantic will increase the winds and
seas across the regional waters. Choppy seas of 4-7 feet expected
across most of the waters. A Small Craft Advisory has been issued
for the Offshore Atlantic Waters as seas of 7 feet are forecast on
Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 217 PM AST MON JUL 18 2016/

SYNOPSIS...High pressure in the central Atlantic driving
moderate trade wind flow will continue to dominate the local
forecast. A weak tropical wave will move out of the area tonight
followed by somewhat drier air. The next tropical wave will move
into the area on Wednesday followed by drier air and significant
Saharan dust on Thursday and Friday.

At upper levels...A low over the local area will drift west as
high pressure moves across the Atlantic waters north of the area
mid-week. Weak low pressure then moves into and over Puerto Rico
from the northeast by Saturday.

At mid levels...Low pressure over the entire Caribbean will yield
to a weak ridge from the high in the west central Atlantic ocean
Tuesday night. A weak trough associated with the tropical wave
will pass through from the east on Wednesday night. The high in
the Atlantic will shift east leaving a ridge across the ocean into
the southern Bahama islands by Saturday. The high will return to
its position north of Puerto Rico on Monday of next week. Mid
levels remain mostly dry except Wednesday and Wednesday night and
again on Sunday night next week.

At lower levels...After about mid week, high pressure in the
central Atlantic will drift northeast into the Azores for a
weekend retreat then forget to come back. This will leave weaker
than usual gradients after Friday over the local area, but
moderate trade winds will continue. Traces of Saharan dust will
enter on Tuesday and peak in intensity on Friday behind the next
tropical wave moving through on Wednesday and Wednesday night.

DISCUSSION...Widely scattered showers continued over Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands this morning and began developing a
little more just before noon. Heavy rain was observed in southwest
Puerto Rico but amounts are believed to be less than one inch so
far. Showers should continue to form and move through the area at
15 to 20 knots, with showers also forming in western and
northwestern Puerto Rico a little later this afternoon. Winds of
28 to 38 knots were observed in the morning sounding of 17/12z
between 14 and 17 kft. One gust was also recorded at the outer
buoy 41043 earlier this morning at 41 knots. Radar also showed
winds above 10 kft in certain areas were above 30 kts. Therefore
there continues to be a risk of gusts around any thunderstorms
that develop that may reach 40 to 45 mph in very localized areas
of western and southwestern Puerto Rico and the adjacent waters.

Moisture will reach a minimum tonight--although there will still
be some good moisture overnight--and then begin rising on Tuesday
until after the wave passage overnight on Wednesday. In the
meantime afternoon showers are likely in western Puerto Rico and
isolated to scattered showers of moderate intensity will occur
elsewhere. The passage of the wave on Wednesday and Wednesday
night will bring better showers and at least isolated
thunderstorms.

Saharan dust will move in behind the wave with the driest air of
the next 7 days. This will limit convection in most areas. Limited
moisture and somewhat better showers will return over the weekend
in an atmosphere that has predominantly easterly flow through 40
kft.

AVIATION...TSRA/SHRA expected to continue across southwestern PR,
creating MVFR conds and mtn top obscurations across the
Cordillera Central, impacting mainly TJMZ and the vicinity of TJPS
thru at least 22z. SHRA will continue across the waters at times
reaching the USVI terminals and creating mainly VCSH with brief
-ra across the rest of the terminals. Low level winds will
continue mainly ENE at 10- 20KT...shifting ESE around 19/02z.

MARINE...Winds will increase slightly tonight and tomorrow.
Currently the wave watch model has been forecasting wave heights
between 6.5 and 7 feet for the outer Atlantic waters and up to 20
knots for portions of the local inner waters of both the Atlantic
and Caribbean. Although the forecast calls for 5 to 7 feet in the
outer Atlantic waters on Tuesday will consider holding off with
issuing a small craft advisory until there is a little more
certainty of seas of 7 feet being reached. Currently small craft
advisories are not expected after midnight Friday morning.
