Area forecast discussion, Nov 4, 1:02 PM CDT, 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
202 PM AST Fri Nov 4 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Upper level long wave trough with axis extending south
across the local area in the northern Caribbean. A strong energy
impulse exiting the Atlantic seaboard moving eastward into the
north Atlantic. abundant deep layer moisture across the northeast
Caribbean.

&&

.DISCUSSION...The energy/short wave exiting the Atlantic seaboard
will result in the long wave trough...mentioned above...deepening
across the eastern Caribbean. This will in turn contribute to
further destabilize the local atmosphere through the weekend and
into the early part of next week. while the upper trough
will provide the lifting mechanism...abundant moisture will also
provide the fuel for a rather wet period through at least the
middle part of next week. Models continue to suggest a rather wet
Sunday through Tuesday period. Too early to tell precipitation
amounts for the early part of next week...but if current trend
persists...this bears watching...especially since grounds are
already saturated across Puerto Rico and the USVI.

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR conds will remain possible at JMZ/JBQ and JSJ
till around 04/22z as SHRA/TSRA continues to develop over and north
of the Cordillera Central and Sierra de Luquillo. VCTS likely ISX
and the Leeward terminals this afternoon. Aft 04/22z, mostly VFR
conds at all PR terminals with VCTS expected at USVI and Leeward
terminals. ESE winds around 10 knots becoming light and variable
overnight.

&&

.MARINE...surface winds should continue from southeast at 15 knots
or less through at least the early part of next week.

&&

.PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
SJU  76  88  78  88 /  30  60  30  60
STT  78  87  79  87 /  50  40  60  60

.SJU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
