Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service San Juan PR
1101 AM AST Sat Jan 20 2018

.UPDATE...After peaking overnight, moisture receded to 1.53 inches
of precipitable water. The main feature continues to be the cold
front that is about 240 miles north of San Juan and sagging slowly
south. Patches of moisture and clouds move west southwest parallel
to the front and toward the area, but after early morning shower
passages, most showers were evaporating before reaching the north
coast of Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Moisture is
still sufficient for the development of afternoon showers in the
southwest of Puerto Rico and it is probable that they will spread
into western Puerto Rico and the western interior during the
afternoon. Shower are expected to diminish after early evening
although some showers will return to northeast Puerto Rico,
Culebra and the northern U.S. Virgin Islands overnight. No
significant changes to the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...Limited mtn obscurations over the highest trrn,
otherwise MVFR will be limited to SHRA arnd the Leeward Islands
and over wrn PR btwn 20/17-22Z. Sfc winds easterly 10 to 15 kt
with sea breeze influences til 20/21Z. Maximum winds 30-35 kt from
FL410-480 diminishing durg the next 24 hrs.

&&

.MARINE...Seas at buoy 41043 have reached 10.5 feet in the last
several hours and these swell should arrive in the near shore
waters before 4 pm AST. Current models are running a few feet shy
of 10 feet so higher than expected surf may be seen on the local
beaches. Will monitor inner buoy, which so far has remained below
5 feet for rapidly increasing swell before deciding on high surf
advisory for tonight or tomorrow for the north coast of Puerto
Rico. Swell event is not particularly long-lived so at this time
expect all SCAs to be down by late Tuesday.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 414 AM AST Sat Jan 20 2018/

SYNOPSIS...A surface high pressure system will remain over the
region through the weekend but, will weaken early next week and
allow low level moisture to surge over Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin
Islands. The high pressure system will create a strong pressure
gradient over the area causing breezy conditions and strong trade
winds that will bring showers early next week for Puerto Rico and
the U.S. Virgin Islands.

SHORT TERM...Today through Monday...Variably cloudy skies prevailed
across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands overnight. Some
passing showers were noted over the coastal waters. Some of these
showers affected the east and northeast sections of Puerto Rico,
including the San Juan metropolitan area. Brief periods of moderate
to heavy rainfall occured with some of these showers.

Early this morning, a much drier air mass was evident in satellite
images approaching the local region. As a result, showers has
diminished in coverage and intensity. For this afternoon, this
slot of drier air will move across Puerto Rico, inhibiting the
development of showers across the area. Another patch of low level
moisture embedded in the trade winds is expected to affect the
islands late tonight into Sunday morning. Upper level ridge will
continue dominating the northeast Caribbean through at least
Monday. This will result in trade wind showers affecting the local
islands from time to time, mainly during the morning hours.

LONG TERM...Tuesday through Sunday...Low level moisture will
periodically pass over Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands
during the long term period. Several short wave troughs will move
north of the region with little to no effect on the area due to
the troughs energy remaining north of Puerto Rico. Therefore, the
long term weather will be influenced by the mid to upper level
ridge and low level moisture moving in from the east. The ridge
of high pressure will feel the effects of the the troughs and
become elongated from east to west. The weakening high will allow
low level moisture to sneak in from the south which will
induce showers across the windward islands and eastern Puerto
Rico during the night and morning hours. Also, low level moisture
combined with daytime heating along with orographic effects and
sea breeze variations will produce showers over portions of the
interior and western PR during the afternoon.

AVIATION...VFR conditions are expected to prevail across all
terminals. -SHRA are possible for terminals TIST, TISX and TJSJ by
20/12Z while other terminals could see light trade wind showers
through the day. Low level wind out of east to northeast at 10 to
15 kt.
