Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
927 PM AST Tue Nov 8 2016

.UPDATE...Showers and thunderstorms activity persisted across
north central  and northwest sections of puerto rico this
evening. Several flood advisories were issued so far this evening
for some municipalities across those sectors of Puerto Rico. This
activity will continue across this area until the late evening
area.

The gfs model guidance suggests that an upper level ridge is
expected to build aloft tomorrow. However, abundant low level
moisture in combination with daytime heating and local effects is
expected to induce the development of showers and thunderstorms
along and north of cordillera central during the afternoon hours.

&&

.AVIATION...Convection still persist over the northwestern
sections of PR producing periods of SHRA/TSRA with brief
MVFR conditions across TJBQ until at least 08/22Z. Across the
rest of the local flying area VCSH are expected between islands.
Winds will be light and variable overnight, increasing after
09/12Z.

&&

.MARINE...A large and long period northerly swell due to a surface
low pressure over the Western Atlantic will affect the local
waters starting Wednesday morning. Small craft advisories will be
in effect for much of the Atlantic and Anegada Passage exposed
waters due to hazardous seas between 7-8 feet and occasionally
higher. Large breaking waves along the Atlantic coastline of the
islands is expected to produce life threatening rip currents and
rough surf conditions.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 206 PM AST Tue Nov 8 2016/

SYNOPSIS...Upper trough will continue to move west to east over
the forecast area through Wed afternoon. Upper ridge builds across
the eastern Caribbean through the weekend. At lower levels,
a frontal boundary north of the area and moisture across the
eastern Caribbean will linger for the next several days. A weak
easterly wave east of the leeward islands will continue to move
east and increase moisture on Friday.

DISCUSSION...Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
developed early in the afternoon hours across the northern half of
PR and around the northern U.S. Virgin Islands. This activity was
induced by the combination of the upper trough and local effects.
As ridge builds aloft tomorrow, convection is not expected to be
as widespread as previous days. However, diurnally induced
afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected each day.

A pulse in moisture is expected on Friday as a short wave trough
over the Atlantic waters and easterly perturbation moves across
the forecast area. A southeasterly steering wind flow is expected
for the next several days as frontal boundary lingers just over
the offshore Atlantic waters.

AVIATION...Aftn convection still fcst over the central mountain
range and nrn half of PR to produce periods of SHRA/TSRA with brief
MVFR/psbl IFR conds til at least 08/22z. Sct-Nmrs convective
Activity in and around TJSJ/TJMZ/TJPS/TJBQ/TIST with isold SHRA/or
TSRA psbl vcty TISX. Across the rest of the local flying area
VCTS/VCSH are expected btw islands. Winds will light and variable
except for local sea breeze variations til 08/23z.

MARINE...A large and long period northerly swell due to a surface
low pressure over the Western Atlantic will affect the local
waters on Wed-Thu. Small craft advisories will be in effect for
much of the Atlantic exposed waters due to hazardous seas between
7-8 feet and occasionally higher. This swell will result in large
breaking waves along the Atlantic coastline of the islands that
will cause life threatening rip currents and rough surf
conditions. Seas will slowly subside late Thursday into Friday.
Winds will continue east-northeast across the Atlantic waters at
5-15 knots overnight into Wednesday and east-southeast across the
Caribbean waters...becoming more easterly through the rest of the
week.

Y LOS PASAJES HASTA POR LO MENOS MANANA EN LA NOCHE. ESTO
RESULTARA EN GRANDES OLAS ROMPIENTES A LO LARGO DE LAS COSTAS DEL
ATLANTICO DE LAS ISLAS...CREANDO CORRIENTES SUBMARINAS PELIGROSAS
Y RESACAS FUERTES QUE PODRIAN AMENAZAR LA VIDA.
