Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
Issued by National Weather Service Miami FL
734 AM AST Wed Oct 11 2017

.AVIATION...
Another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected to affect
all terminals again today before diminishing after sunset. Gusty
winds, lightning, and MVFR to IFR visibilities and/or ceilings are
possible with any activity. Otherwise, VFR conditions are
expected.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued Issued by National Weather Service Miami FL/

SYNOPSIS...

TUTT low north of Hispaniola will continue to move west. An upper
level ridge builds from the east and holds through early in the
weekend. Another tropical wave is forecast to move across the
eastern Caribbean by late Sunday/Monday. Moist southerly flow will
continue today with afternoon convection expected over and to the
north of the mountain ranges of the islands. Moderate east trades
will return later on Thursday with a northeast component by Friday
and Saturday.

SHORT TERM...

Abundant tropical moisture and trof aloft will aid in the
development of afternoon showers and thunderstorms today. Although
not as heavy and widespread convection is expected as previous
days, due to already saturated soils and the potential for
mudslides, any additional thunderstorm activity over the mountain
ranges will quickly result in flooding and possible rapid rises
on creeks and small streams. Therefore, a flash flood watch
continues in effect through at least 8 PM AST tonight. As upper
ridge builds aloft, moisture content will erode, but the
available moisture will be enough to result in isolated to
scattered convection over the western interior-northwest portions
of PR on Thursday. As the ridge moves to the west of the
area later on Friday and Saturday, a northeast steering wind flow
will shift the focus of convection over the southwest quadrant of
the island, but a drier air mass should limit the extent and
timing of the shower activity. Streamers are expected to form each
day downwind of the USVI, resulting in brief periods of rainfall
over the western portions of the islands into the coastal waters.
Also, as trade winds return after Thursday, expect typical trade
wind shower pattern over the islands and the eastern portions of
PR during the overnight/early morning hours.

LONG TERM...

A tropical wave is forecast to move across the eastern Caribbean
during the medium range, winds shift from the southeast and trof
pattern across the western Atlantic could provide good divergence
aloft, therefore, showers and thunderstorm activity should start
to increase once again across the northwest quadrant of PR and
over the San Juan metro area on Sunday afternoon. A return to a
wetter pattern, and with more unstable conditions, is forecast
from Monday through Wednesday with a drying trend by the second
part of the week.

&&

MARINE...

Winds and seas are expected to remain below small craft advisory
criteria through the forecast period. A tropical wave will
increase shower and thunderstorm activity late this weekend into
early next week. A moderate risk of rip currents is expected to
continue across the northern beaches of PR and across some beaches
of eastern St. Croix through the end of the week.
