Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service San Juan PR
208 AM AST Sat Sep 2 2017

.UPDATE...Numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms were
observed across the south central and southwest portions of Puerto
Rico this afternoon with scattered and brief showers persisting
through the afternoon and evening across most of the local
forecast area. These showers are expected to continue overnight
into Saturday morning but at this time, the accumulations are not
expected to be significant enough to cause flooding.

There is some increase in moisture expected for Saturday which
will cause an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity across
the western and central portions of Puerto Rico in the afternoon
hours while the rest of the areas will have isolated to scattered
showers.

At this time there is still too much uncertainty with regards of
the potential impacts that Hurricane Irma would have in the local
islands. However, the marine conditions are expected to
deteriorate significantly by midweek.

&&

.AVIATION...VCSH expected across most of the local terminals
overnight with ENE winds at around 10 knots for the most part,
light and VRB winds at TJPS and TJMZ. SHRA/TSRA expected across
central and western PR which would cause VCTS at TJPS and TJMZ and
possible TEMPO TSRA at TJMZ after 02/17Z. Overall, expect VFR
conds through the next 24 hours except at TJMZ between 02/17Z and
02/22Z.

&&

.MARINE...Seas of 5 feet or less are expected tonight and Saturday
with coastal winds of 15 knots or less. Moderate risk of rip
currents across the northern beaches of PR, Culebra, and Saint
Thomas. Seas to deteriorate significantly by midweek due to the
proximity of Hurricane Irma.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 505 PM AST Fri Sep 1 2017/

SYNOPSIS...Ridge aloft will continue to erode as a mid to upper
level trough develops across the central Caribbean. Tropical near
56W will reach the local isles Saturday night into Sunday.
Hurricane Irma...located 1495 miles east of the Leeward Islands...
is moving toward the west near 13 mph. A turn toward the west-
southwest is expected tomorrow. Interests in the northeast
Caribbean should monitor the progress of this system.

&&

SHORT TERM...Tonight thru Monday

Under weakening ridge and approaching tropical wave, the chance
for showers and thunderstorms will increase across the forecast
area tonight and into the upcoming week. Although, moisture
associated with the tropical wave is expected to move away by
Monday, PW values will continue near or slightly below 2 inches
through the period.

Therefore, expect a few passing showers across windward areas at
times with showers and thunderstorms over and west Puerto Rico in
afternoon each day.

LONG TERM...Tuesday thru Saturday.

The National Hurricane Center and The National Weather Service
San Juan are monitoring Hurricane Irma. Based on the latest
bulletin, Hurricane Irma is located about 1495 miles east of the
Leeward Islands and is moving toward the west near 13 mph. A turn
toward the west-southwest is expected tomorrow. The uncertainty
is high at this time, however, model guidance are indicating that
Irma as a major hurricane will move closer to the region by
midweek. For additional information about Irma: TCPAT1 and TCDAT1;
Spanish versions: TCPSP1 and TCDSP1. Interests in the northeast
Caribbean should monitor the progress of this system.

&&

AVIATION...VFR conds are expected to prevail at all TAF sites
through the forecast period. Easterly winds 10 to 15 knots,
becoming light and variable overnight.

&&

MARINE...Tranquil marine conditions are expected to prevail
tonight and into the upcoming weekend with seas 3 to 5 seas
and winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas and winds will deteriorate next
week as Hurricane Irma moves closer to the eastern Caribbean.
