Special Weather Statement, NWS JSJ

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
1042 AM AST SUN JUL 31 2016

.UPDATE...Mostly cloudy skies with heavy showers and
thunderstorms, associated with a tropical wave, affected the
Atlantic and Caribbean waters as well as the USVI, Vieques,
Culebra, northern and eastern half of Puerto Rico during the
morning hours. Heavy to torrential rainfall with wind gusts of 30
mph or more and intense lightning was observed with these storms.

As the tropical wave moves across the region, periods of showers
and thunderstorms will continue to affect the waters and local
islands throughout the day. Heavy rains could lead to flooding in
low lying and poor drainage areas as well as small stream
flooding. Flash flooding is possible in isolated areas. Therefore,
a flash flood watch is in effect for today and tonight. Windy
conditions are also expected to continue today and tonight with
gusty winds of 30 MPH or greater.

.AVIATION...A tropical wave will continue to move across the
region bringing periods of SHRA/TSRA across the local flying area
today and tonight. Periods of MVFR or IFR CIGS/VSBYS likely
across the Leeward, USVI and E PR in the morning. These cond
expected over W PR terminals late morning and afternoon. Mtn
obscurations are expected. Windy conditions at 10-20 kts with
periods of gusts of 25-35 kts mostly near SHRA/TSRA.

.MARINE...Hazardous marine conditions with periods of heavy to
torrential rainfall, locally higher seas, and lightning activity
will continue across the Atlantic and Caribbean waters and local
passages today as a tropical wave continues to move across the
region. At the moment, local buoys show an increasing trend of
seas of 7 to 8 feet and is expected to remain near those heights
through late tonight. Therefore, the high surf has been canceled
since seas are expected to remain below high surf criteria. The
high risk of rip currents will continue for most of the coasts of
Vieques, Culebra and Puerto Rico, except for the west coasts
where a low to moderate risk of rip currents is expected.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 554 AM AST SUN JUL 31 2016/

SYNOPSIS...A strong tropical wave will bring very gusty winds
some heavy rains with flooding potential, thunderstorms, and hazardous
seas to the local area. Most of the effects will clear the area by
late Monday night, but some showers will continue through the week
with moderate trade winds continuing.

At upper levels...High pressure will pass just north
of the area carrying a brief surge in easterly winds Sunday. Then,
a strong low northeast of the area will carry a trough to Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands late Wednesday. High Pressure
returns to the Atlantic north of the local area by Friday night
and moves slowly west through the weekend.

At mid levels...A tropical wave will move through the area today
followed by disorganized trough that will squeeze the high
pressure to the north on Tuesday evening. High pressure will then
move from northeast of the area to cover the western Atlantic east
of the Bahamas through next weekend.

At lower levels...A vigorous tropical wave will move through the
area today followed by continued winds of 20 to 30 mph. After
winds subside a second wave will move through the area Thursday
night and Friday. During this time high pressure will continue
over the Azores flagging over the weekend and then regenerating
boosting trade wind flow in the local area.

DISCUSSION...Showers began to come more frequently and with
windier gusts during the overnight hours. They moved through the
Leeward Islands first with gusts to as much as 33 knots. Gusts
also reached 20 to 25 kts in the U.S. Virgin Islands although
better gusts are expected this morning. Also buoy 41043 reported
gusts to 37 knots around 2 AM AST. The airport at San Juan
reported a gust of 28 mph just after 3 AM AST. Currently the
System continues to generate strong convection just west of the
Windward Islands and in the Atlantic and Caribbean waters north
and south of The U.S. Virgin Islands and eastern Puerto Rico as it
moves at an estimated 30 mph. Maximum winds at 5-10 kft have been
observed to as much as 47 knots. Minor showers were seen over
other waters and as far southwest over Puerto Rico as the
northeast corner of Ponce.

Currently most of the convection in this system seem to be on the
western half just behind the upper air ridge line extending
southwest of Puerto Rico. Some of the models have also hinted
that the best convection may be around midday. Nevertheless a
strong area of divergence associated with the tropical wave will
move through Saint Croix and into Puerto Rico from the southeast
late this afternoon and further showers and thunderstorms are
expected then. This may also be when some of the day's best
rainfall falls on the slopes of the southeastern mountains.
Rainfall is still not foreseen as strongly in the models as
previously forecast, in part because of the wide scattering of the
convection and due to the rapidity which the cells are passing.
Nevertheless the potential for flooding continues in very heavy
thunderstorms especially as heating and divergence aloft begin to
reinforce one another.

After the core of the moisture in the apex of the wave leaves the
local forecast area, another band of moisture is pulled out of the
southeast and crosses the U.S. Virgin Islands early Monday
afternoon, and Puerto Rico during the late afternoon and evening.
Dynamics are weaker though, but the potential for flooding may
actually increase due to antecedent rains across the area.
Therefore will extend the flash flood watch until Monday at 6 PM
AST and hold it until the extent of the moisture pulled in in the
system's wake can be better ascertained.

Although drier air follows on Monday night, moisture at lower
levels comes back quickly to reach the coast of Puerto Rico by
sunrise Tuesday morning with scattered showers with light
amounts on the east coast and showers likely in El Yunque. This
appears to be associated with the advance of a mid level trough
into Puerto Rico followed closely by one in the western Atlantic.

The next significant wave will move through the area with less
intensity but decent moisture on Thursday afternoon and Thursday
night.

AVIATION...A tropical wave will continue to increase SHRA and TSRA
activity across the local flying area today and tonight. MVFR or
even IFR CIGS/VSBYS with SHRA/TSRA are likely across the Leeward,
USVI and E PR this morning. These conditions are expected to spread
to the West Puerto Rico terminals by mid morning and afternoon. Mtn
obscurations are expected. Windy conditions expected at 10-20 kts
with periods of gusts of 25-35 kts mostly near showers and
thunderstorms.

MARINE...Seas have already climbed to 9.2 feet at the outer buoy
41043 this morning, and wave watch forecasts seas as high as 12
feet there. Have decided to go with seas in the Local Atlantic
waters as high as 10 feet, but models showed seas almost to 12
feet in places. Models seem to have a slightly high bias on the
winds with 27 to 34 knots in the local waters at times. Gusts
could easily reach this intensity and up to 40 knots, but
sustained winds will generally not exceed 25 knots except in a few
areas for brief periods of time. Although the models have the
strongest winds in our local Caribbean waters, winds will not be
much lower over our Atlantic waters either. This will in turn
generate rip currents on almost all coasts and some high surf is
expected on Puerto Rico's central Atlantic coast. Due to the
possibility of even higher seas than forecast in localized areas
decided not to suppress the high surf advisory there even though
the waves will not be driving directly into the coastline.
