Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
116 PM AST Mon Jun 19 2017
.SYNOPSIS...Moist and unstable pattern will likely prevail
through midweek. The most active period will be the rest of today
and Wednesday. Some Saharan dust will reach the region on Tuesday.
A generally fair weather pattern will establish the second part
of the week as mid-upper level ridge builds across the Northeast
Caribbean.
&&
.SHORT TERM...Today through Wednesday...
Upper level trough/TUTT over the Northeast Caribbean will move
west-southwest into the Central and Western Caribbean through
Friday. A tropical wave located over Puerto Rico this afternoon
will move out of the forecast area by tonight. Plenty of moisture
and instability associated with these features will induce the
development of showers and thunderstorms the rest of the
afternoon. Periods of heavy rainfall and gusty winds will be
likely with these afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
The tropical wave and the upper level trough are forecast to move
away from the region on Tuesday...giving way to slightly drier
air mass and less convective instability. Aerosol model NASA
GEOS-5 and satellite observations indicated low to moderate
concentrations of Saharan Dust reaching the Northeast Caribbean
after midnight tonight. However...normal levels of moisture will
combine with orographic forcing and sea breeze convergence to
produce a few rounds of scattered showers across the interior and
west Puerto Rico on Tuesday afternoon. The shower and thunderstorm
coverage will be less than today as convective instability
decreases across the forecast area.
We are monitoring the low pressure system/tropical disturbance
located about 300 miles east-southeast of Trinidad. The latest
track forecast of the NHC keep this disturbance far south of the
local area. Although the bulk of the moisture will remain over the
Caribbean Waters...squally weather and rough marine conditions
are likely across the local region between Tuesday night into
Wednesday. Please stay tuned to the latest NHC forecast for this
Potential Tropical Cyclone Two.
.LONG TERM...Thursday through Tuesday...
After the tropical disturbance passes through our south on
Wednesday, drier air will gradually move in on Thursday and remain
near normal through Saturday, which will probably cause locally
induced showers and thunderstorms once the moisture combines with
the local effects. However, on Sunday another tropical wave is
forecast to pass through the local area with an upper low
positioned just west of the local islands, which would cause an
increase in shower and thunderstorm activity over the local area.
Weather conditions to improve early on the following workweek.
&&
.AVIATION...Tropical wave moving across the eastern Caribbean will
result in SHRA/ isold TSRA across the regional waters and islands.
Tempo MVFR conds possible across TJNR/TJSJ/TJBQ/TJMZ TIL 22Z. Tops
250-350 w/TSRA. SFC wnds E-SE 15-20 kts...ocnl higher gust and with
SHRA/TSRA to nr 30 kts psbl.
&&
.MARINE...Winds and seas will gradually increase through at least
midweek as the tropical wave and the tropical disturbance moves
across the Eastern Caribbean. Rough seas of 6-9 feet or possibly
greater are likely between Tuesday night and Wednesday...especially
across the Caribbean Waters when the tropical disturbance is moving
over the Southeastern Caribbean. As a result...Small craft advisory
will go into effect this evening and continues through at least midweek.
