Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
1205 PM AST Fri Apr 5 2019

.UPDATE...Scattered showers were observed across the local area
in the morning hours, mainly affecting the eastern sections of PR
as well as the USVI and the local waters. Late in the morning a
few showers started developing and streaming off the USVI, some of
them affecting eastern PR. THe satellite imagery is showing cloud
development across the interior and western sections of PR, which
are the areas with a good chance of rain later in the afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION...Prevailing VFR conds expected at the local terminals
through 05/18Z. SHRA development across W-PR may cause tempo MVFR
conds at TJMZ from 05/18Z to 05/21Z. Winds will continue from the
East with sea breeze variations at 10-15KT with occasional gusts.
Winds to decrease after 06/00Z to 10KT or less.

&&

.MARINE...Small craft advisory will go into effect at 8 PM tonight
across the Atlantic waters and the Anegada passage due to expected
seas up to 7 feet. Until then, seas will be up to 6 feet and winds
up to 20 knots, and therefore small craft operators are urged to
exercise caution. There is also a high risk of rip currents for
the beaches of northern PR and starting at 6PM the northern
beaches of Culebra will also have a high risk of rip currents.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 517 AM AST Fri Apr 5 2019/

SYNOPSIS...
A surface high pressure will continues to promote a trade wind
flow across the northeast Caribbean. As a result, trade wind
showers will affect the local waters, and the windward sections
of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A trade wind
perturbation will reach the archipelago of PR and the USVI this
afternoon. Another surface high will exit the Eastern Seaboard of
the U.S. and moves eastward across the Atlantic Ocean through
early next week. A mid to upper-level ridge will hold through at
least Saturday, when a short wave trough is forecast to swing by
from the west.

SHORT TERM...Today through Sunday...

A ridge aloft will continue to suppress the development of organized
and deep convection across the forecast area during the next several
days. At the surface, a broad high pressure across the Atlantic
basin will continue to produce a moderate easterly wind flow
throughout the short-term period. This will serve to produce breezy
conditions across the forecast area, especially from the mid-morning
into the early evening hours.

For today, some brief showers may affect eastern portions of PR
during the early to mid morning hours. This will be followed by the
development of some afternoon showers across western PR due to
daytime heating and local effects. A low-level trade wind
perturbation, located near the leeward islands, is expected to move
across the USVI and the eastern half of PR later this evening into
the overnight. This will result in more numerous passing showers
across these areas during this time period. On Saturday, low-level
moisture associated with the low-level trade wind perturbation will
linger across PR. Therefore, expect some brief morning showers
across the eastern half of PR followed by the development of showers
across western PR during the afternoon hours due to daytime heating
and local effects.

A subtropical jet maxima near 250 mb is expected to move just north
of the area on Sunday. This will serve to increase the divergence
aloft. In addition, the low-level moisture will increase. As a
result, more widespread showers are expected across the forecast
area. Scattered showers are expected across portions of the USVI and
eastern PR during the morning hours, extending into the western half
of PR during the afternoon hours.

LONG TERM...Monday through Friday...

A mid level ridge will remain in place through the long term
period. This mid level feature will aid in dry air promoting a
trade wind inversion across the region. However, patches of low
level moisture will continue to promote trade wind showers across
the windward sections during the night and early morning hours
followed by afternoon convection across the western sections of
the islands. In addition, surface winds are forecast to veer from
the east-southeast Tuesday through the end of the work-week as
the Atlantic high pressure shifts farther eastwards.

AVIATION...
An area of cloudiness and sct SHRA just east of the leeward
islands will result in BKN cloud layers and VCSH across TNCM and
TKPK between 05/14z and 05/22z, resulting in brief MVFR
conditions. SHRA are expected across western PR between 05/16z and
05/22z. This may affect mainly TJMZ terminal and result in MVFR
conditions at times. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail. Winds
will continue from the E at less than 10 knots through 05/12z,
increasing to 15 to 20 knots with higher gusts and sea breeze
variations after 05/13z.

MARINE...
A moderate to fresh easterly wind flow will prevail during the next
few days as a high pressure ridge builds north of the region. A
northerly swell will spread across the local waters throughout the
weekend. As a result, mariners can expect increasing seas between
5 and 7 feet across the Atlantic waters and Caribbean Passages by
late this afternoon. The combination of increasing trade winds
and the continued swell action will generate choppy and hazardous
seas across the regional waters. Therefore a small craft advisory
is in effect from this evening into the weekend. Marine conditions
are forecast to improve by early next week.

For beach goers, a high rip current risk continues in effect for
beaches along the northwest to northeast coast of Puerto Rico.
The high risk will expand across the northern beaches of Culebra
this evening into Saturday. Elsewhere, a moderate risk of rip
currents remains in place for most local beaches.
