AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
1252 PM AST THU FEB 4 2016

.UPDATE...MARINE GRIDS WERE UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE NEW
OBSERVATIONS AND MODEL GUIDANCE SOLUTIONS. AS A RESULT...SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE NOW IN EFFECT FOR THE ATLANTIC OFFSHORE
WATERS AND PUERTO RICO NORTHERN WATERS. ALSO...A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY FOR THE ANEGADA PASSAGE WILL BE IN EFFECT TONIGHT AT 8 PM
AST. FOR THE BEACH GOERS...A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IS EXPECTED FOR
THE ATLANTIC COASTLINE OF PUERTO RICO...CULEBRA AND ST THOMAS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED /

UPDATE...IN GENERAL...FAIR WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AS A
COOL AIR MASS WITH SHALLOW MOISTURE MOVES INTO THE AREA FROM THE
NORTH. THE NORTHERN COASTLINE...CAN EXPECT PASSING CLOUDS WITH
EMBEDDED SHOWERS FROM TIME TO TIME FOLLOWED BY LIMITED AFTERNOON
CONVECTION DOWNSTREAM FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN RANGE. THE WEATHER
CONTINUES AS PREVIOUSLY FORECAST.

AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE FORECAST
PERIOD. SOME BRIEF PASSING SHOWERS CAN BE EXPECTED AT
TJSJ/TIST/TJBQ/TNCM. LIMITED SHRA/MOUNTAIN OBSC EXPECTED OVER THE
SOUTHERN SLOPES...BRIEFLY AFFECTING TJPS. AFTER 04/23Z BRIEF -SHRA
CAN BE EXPECTED AT TJSJ/TJBQ/TIST/TNCM. ALTHOUGH GUSTY WINDS
AROUND 25 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED MAINLY IN AND NEAR SHOWER
ACTIVITY...NORTHERLY WINDS UP TO 18 KT ARE EXPECTED TIL
04/23...BCMG LIGHT-CALM/VRB AFT 04/23.

MARINE...THE LOCAL BUOY NETWORK INDICATED SEAS UP TO 5
FEET...WITH A NORTHERLY WIND FLOW AROUND 15 KT AND GUSTS UP TO 20
KNOTS. THE PREVIOUS MARINE DISCUSSION CONTINUES IN EFFECT.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED /

SYNOPSIS...DEEP LAYERED TUTT LOW WILL MEANDER JUST TO THE
NORTHEAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT
DRIFTS SLOWLY TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC BY
LATE IN THE WEEKEND. THIS TUTT LOW SUPPORTS A SURFACE LOW THAT
WILL DETERIORATE INTO AN OPEN TROUGH LATER TODAY AND MOVE WEST
ACROSS THE ISLANDS BY FRIDAY-SATURDAY AS IT DETACHES FROM THE
TUTT LOW. MID-UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC
CONTINUES TO ERODE SLOWLY TODAY...BUT WILL STRENGTHEN ONCE AGAIN
OVER THE WESTERN/CENTRAL CARIBBEAN DURING THE WEEKEND.
MEANWHILE...THE SURFACE TROUGH WILL MERGE WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC DURING THE WEEKEND...SHIFTING WINDS FROM
THE SOUTHEAST AND INCREASING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY OVER THE
FORECAST AREA.

DISCUSSION...SATELLITE IMAGES DEPICTED THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC SINKING AND MEANDERING TO THE NORTHEAST
OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS. THIS LOW AND SFC HIGH TO THE NORTH AND
WEST OF IT CONTINUED TO PROMOTE A MODERATE TO FRESH NORTH TO
NORTHEASTERLY TRADE WIND FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. SHOWERS
WITH GUSTY WINDS WERE EMBEDDED ON THE NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE
ISLANDS. FOR THE REST OF TODAY...ANOTHER BAND OF BRIEF BUT HEAVY
SHOWERS WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL MOVE MAINLY OVER THE NORTHERN HALF
OF PR DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. LATER IN THE DAY...SUNNY TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE EXPECTED WITH LIMITED AFTERNOON SHOWERS
OVER THE INTERIOR AND SOUTHWEST SECTIONS OF THE ISLANDS.

LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THAT WINDS WILL TURN
SOUTHEASTERLY AS THE SURFACE TROUGH MOVE WEST ACROSS THE REGION
DURING THE WEEKEND. THE TROUGH WILL THEN LIFT NORTHWEST ACROSS
THE SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC WHERE IT IS FORECAST TO FURTHER DEVELOP
INTO AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AS IT MERGES WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
IF THIS PATTERN UNFOLDS...AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A BETTER
CHANCE FOR DAYTIME CONVECTION ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ISLANDS
DURING THE WEEKEND.

AVIATION...VFR CONDS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL TAFS SITES DURG PERIOD
WITH BRIEF PDS OF VCSH AT SOME TERMINALS. NNE WNDS OF 5 TO 10 KTS
EXPECTED BELOW FL100...INCRSNG TO 10 TO 20 KTS AFT 04/14Z.

MARINE...MODERATE TO FRESH NORTH TO NORTHEAST TRADES WILL
CONTINUE TODAY. SEAS WILL RANGE GENERALLY BETWEEN 4-6 FEET AND
SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND
PASSAGES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS
CONTINUE TODAY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC FACING BEACHES OF PR AND THE
USVI. HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS LIKELY ACROSS NORTHERN PR ON
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY DUE TO A MODERATE WIND GENERATED
NORTHEASTERLY SWELL.
