Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
502 PM AST Mon Apr 10 2017

.SYNOPSIS...Surface trough will exit the local area early on
Tuesday. Cut off low is expected to establish north of the region
on Tuesday and drift eastward into the Central Atlantic through
the end of the week. A strong surface high pressure is expected to
move into the Western Atlantic during the weekend. Although low
level winds will tend to be from the northeast after midweek...the
steering winds will be light with a southwest component by the
end of the work week. This will shift the focus of showers across
the interior and northeast sections of the islands.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Monday afternoon through Wednesday...Scattered to
numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms developed by mid
afternoon across the interior sections of PR and slowly drifted to
the northern municipalities. Several flood advisories were issued
with this activity and are still in effect through at least late
this afternoon. The doppler radar estimated between 1-2.5 inches
of rain with the heaviest showers across Bayamon, Naranjito,
Comerio and over portions of the western interior. The surface
trough also brought showers across the U.S. Virgin Islands,
leaving between 1-2 inches across portions of St. Croix and the
waters between the islands.

For the rest of the evening hours into Tuesday morning, some
rivers can react and cause minor flooding due to run off from the
previous heavy rainfall across the interior sections of PR.
Residents and motorists should be alert due to possible flooded
roads and other low lying areas. As the trough continues to move
over the islands...the chances for isolated to scattered showers
will continue across the coastal areas of the islands. Diurnally
induced showers will continue each afternoon across the interior
and western portions of PR through Wednesday.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1105 AM AST Mon Apr 10 2017/

LONG TERM...Thursday through Tuesday...Deep layer low north of
Puerto Rico will slowly fill through Saturday while subtropical
jet will become zonal late in the week...extending along the
Tropical Atlantic from Puerto Rico to Africa. As the low pressure
north of the islands dissipates...winds will shift to the east-
northeast in response to a building high pressure over the Western
Atlantic. Looks like the overall moisture will decrease below
normal between Friday and Saturday when operational models suggest
precipitable water values of 1.25-1.5 inches. At the same time...
the mid to upper level ridge reaches it maximum amplitude.

&&

.AVIATION....SHRA/TSRA are expected in and around TJSJ, TJMZ and
TJBQ. As a result, periods of MVFR conditions can be expected
across these terminals through at least 10/23z. Elsewhere, VFR
conditions are expected to prevail with VCSH. Low level winds will
continue mainly ESE to SE at around 10 to 15kts decreasing to
less than 10kt after 10/23Z.

&&

.MARINE...Buoys across the coastal waters of the USVI and PR were
indicating seas at 4 feet or less and east to southeast winds up
to 15 knots. Offshore Atlantic buoy 41043 was up to 7 feet early
this morning but has come down to just under 6 feet as of 4 PM
AST. Therefore the small craft advisory was let to expire at 2 PM.
However, small crafts should continue to exercise caution tonight
due to seas up to 6 feet across the Offshore Atlantic waters. Seas
should remain under 5 feet for the rest of the week across the
rest of the regional waters. A moderate risk of rip currents will
continue for some of the northern beaches of the islands on
Tuesday.
