Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
127 PM AST Sun Dec 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Mid to upper level ridge will remain as the main
weather feature across the region until the middle of the week.
This feature will continue to inhibit the development of
significant shower activity across the region. Patches of moisture
embedded in the trades winds will continue to produce passing
showers across the local islands for the next several days.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Doppler weather radar detected isolated to
scattered showers across eastern sections of Puerto Rico as well
as across Vieques, Culebra and the U.S. Virgin Islands early this
morning. However by mid-morning this activity dissipated leaving
only partly cloudy skies with limited shower activity as a drier
air mass moved from the leeward islands over the U.S. Virgin
Islands and eastern Puerto Rico. This generally dry air mass is
expected to encompass the rest of the region this afternoon.

A strong surface high pressure across the western Atlantic will
continue to induce breezy conditions across the local islands and
coastal waters for the next several days with winds expected to
increase at around 20 MPH this afternoon and tonight. Areas of low
level moisture embedded in this trade wind flow will produce brief
periods of passing showers across the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Vieques, Culebra an eastern Puerto Rico overnight and early in the
morning, but in general fair weather pattern is expected most of
the week.

&&

.AVIATION...Mainly VFR conditions expected across the local flying
area during the next 24 hours. Trade winds showers will affect the
Leewards, USVI and TJSJ taf sites overnight and early Monday
morning but mainly resulting in brief periods of VCSH/-RA. Isld-
Sct afternoon SHRA possible along the western interior impacting
the flying area of TJMZ.

&&

.MARINE...Winds and seas are forecast to increase through Monday
as a strong high pressure builds north of the local islands. Seas
will peak at 6-8 feet especially across the offshore waters
between Monday and Tuesday. As a result...Small Craft Advisories
remain in effect for most of the waters...except the coastal
waters of Western Puerto Rico. Marine conditions will gradually
improve the second part of the week.
