AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
844 PM AST TUE JAN 5 2016

.UPDATE...CLOUDY SKIES PREVAILED THIS EVENING AS SHOWERS MOVED
FROM THE CARIBBEAN WATERS INTO THE FORECAST AREA. MAX RAINFALL
OVER LAND AREAS IN PR RANGED BETWEEN 0.20-0.75 OF AN INCH WITH THE
HEAVIEST SHOWERS. SCATTERED TO LOCALLY NUMEROUS SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE CARIBBEAN WATERS...THE USVI AND THE
EASTERN AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF PR THRU WENEDSDAY MORNING. GUSTY
WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE SHOWER ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT. NO CHANGES
MADE TO SHORT TERM GRIDS AS FORECAST IS ON TRACK.

&&

.AVIATION UPDATE...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS ALL
TAF SITES THROUGH AT LEAST 06/12Z. VCSH ARE EXPECTED OVER MOST TAF
SITES. LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL CONTINUE FROM THE EAST AT 10 KTS OR
LESS.

&&

.MARINE UPDATE...NEARSHORE BUOYS ARE INDICATING SEAS BETWEEN 2-4
FEET ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS OF THE USVI AND PUERTO RICO. WINDS
ARE MAINLY FROM THE EAST TO SOUTHEAST AT 5-10 KNOTS WITH HIGHER
GUSTS NEAR SHOWERS. SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION ACROSS THE
OFFSHORE ATLANTIC WATERS DUE TO SEAS UP TO 6 FEET. LONG PERIOD
NORTHERLY SWELL WILL REACH THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND PASSAGES BY
THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED /

SYNOPSIS...A FEW UPPER LEVEL TROUGHS WILL CROSS THE LOCAL REGION
THROUGH THURSDAY ENHANCING THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND INSTABILITY
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SUBEQUATORIAL RIDGE WILL BUILD AGAIN OVER
THE CARIBBEAN BASIN DURING WEEKEND BRINGING FAIR WEATHER PATTERN
TO THE ISLANDS.

DISCUSSION...DEEPER MOISTURE HAS ADVECTED OVER THE LOCAL ISLANDS
THIS AFTERNOON. GPS MET DATA SHOWED MOISTURE SURGE FROM 1.08 TO
1.5 INCHES OF PRECIPITABLE WATER. AS A RESULT...SHOWERS HAVE BEEN
DEVELOPING SINCE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN SLOPES OF PUERTO RICO AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF THE U.S.
VIRGIN ISLANDS. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE INTERIOR...
NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST PR LATER THIS AFTERNOON. FOR TONIGHT...
SOME SHOWERS WILL MOVE INLAND OVER THE USVI AND PORTIONS OF SOUTH
AND EAST PR AT TIMES.

MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO POOL ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS AS MID-UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM OVER THE
AREA. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY IS NOT EXPECTED OVER
USVI AND PR...THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS REMAINS HIGH THROUGH AT
LEAST FRIDAY AS RELATIVELY MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE PREVAILS
OVER THE REGION. STABLE PATTERN RETURNS DURING THE WEEKEND AS
SUBEQUATORIAL RIDGE BUILD OVER THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN BASIN.

AVIATION...TEMPO MVFR CONDS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE USVI AND
TNCM AND TKPK TERMINALS FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE
PREVAILING FROM THE SE AT ABOUT 10 KT WITH SEA BREEZE VARIATIONS.
SCT-NMRS SHRA EXPECTED ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA FOR THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON. PASSING SHRA WILL CAUSE VCSH ACROSS MOST OF THE LOCAL
TERMINALS OVERNIGHT WITH WINDS DECREASING.

MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL GENERALLY RANGED BETWEEN 10-15 KT
AND 3-5 FT ACROSS MOST OF THE WATERS...EXCEPT THE OFFSHORE ATLANTIC
WATERS AND MONA PASSAGE WHERE SEAS UP TO 6 FT ARE POSSIBLE AT TIMES.
SEA STATE WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...A
MODERATE NORTHERLY SWELL OF 4-6 FT IS FORECAST TO REACH THE LOCAL
REGION ON THURSDAY.
