Area forecast discussion, Sep 3, 1:05 PM CDT, 2 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Juan PR 205 PM AST SAT SEP 3 2016 .SYNOPSIS...A tropical wave will pass mostly south of the area Monday and Tuesday bringing some additional showers. Saharan dust will slowly taper off by Tuesday. At upper levels...A weak low will cross through the northern U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico overnight. A broad high pressure will pass several hundred miles north of the area, influencing much of the eastern Caribbean on Tuesday, with its backside affecting the local weather through Saturday of next week. At mid levels...High pressure over the sub tropical Atlantic will move northeast into the mid latitudes on Sunday. A trough near 36 west will move slowly across the tropical Atlantic and pass through the local area on friday. Mid level moisture is best on Tuesday and Saturday. At lower levels...High pressure continues north of the area while low pressure dominates the southern Caribbean. A tropical wave is being pressed southeast and is now expected to pass mostly south of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Some increase in showers is expected Monday and Tuesday. High pressure moves into the north central Atlantic mid-week next week and weakens only slowly as it sags southeast to generate moderate to locally fresh trade winds. && .DISCUSSION...A few showers crossed northeast Puerto Rico during the morning. In the early afternoon a few streamers were seen off of Vieques and Saint Croix. Other showers were seen on the western end of the Cordillera Central. These showers will not generate as much rain as yesterday and should die off shortly after sunset, possibly sooner over land. Current GFS run is not much different from the last several runs and all show drier air at 850 and 700 mb holding the moisture from the approaching tropical wave south of the area This moisture is now stretched from the Windward Islands to 600 miles east of the Windward Islands. It will begin moving through the Caribbean Sea south of the local area around 04/06z and now looks like it will not even enter the forecast area's southeast corner until 05/12z. Have lowered some POP expectations for this period, but some local air mass showers are still possible--though they will be isolated for the most part. Moisture surges into the area on Monday night and should continue through Tuesday. It is at this time that we should have the best showers and thunderstorms, but urban and small stream flooding--if any---should be very localized. Moisture patches move through the rest of the week, but better moisture is not expected until the following weekend. Any depressions that develop are now expected to remain well south of the area during the next 10 days. && .AVIATION...Mainly VFR conditions expected across most of the terminals through much of the forecast period. SHRA/TSRA associated to a tropical wave is expected to increase late in the fcst period across the leeward terminals. HZ due to Saharan dust will continue for the next day or so. Low level winds will continue ENE at 15- 30 kts. && .MARINE...Small craft advisories may still be possible beginning Sunday night. Although moisture may not be so far north winds in the 850-700 mb level will be a little higher than usual. Seas may not be as high as expected over some waters. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... SJU 80 89 79 87 / 10 10 30 30 STT 81 91 80 88 / 20 20 30 30 && .SJU Watches/Warnings/Advisories... PR...None. VI...None. AM...None. && 13/12
