...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON 
THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, including the 
  following areas, in Puerto Rico, Central Interior, Culebra, 
  Eastern Interior, Mayaguez and Vicinity, North Central, Northeast, 
  Northwest, Ponce and Vicinity, San Juan and Vicinity, Southeast, 
  Southwest, Vieques and Western Interior. In Virgin Islands, St 
  Croix and St.Thomas...St. John...and Adjacent Islands.

* From Thursday afternoon through Friday evening

* There is a high risk for flash flooding across the local islands, 
  particularly on Thursday afternoon into Friday evening. Plenty of 
  low-level moisture which is associated with a tropical disturbance 
  now located east of the Lesser Antilles is expected to combine 
  with an upper level trough to result in periods of moderate to 
  heavy rainfall across Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands 
  Thursday afternoon into Friday evening.

* Based on the latest guidance, showers and thunderstorms will reach 
  the US Virgin Islands and eastern Puerto Rico Thursday afternoon, 
  becoming more frequent by Friday morning. Showers and 
  thunderstorms are then expected to spread across the western areas 
  of Puerto Rico by midday Friday. Rainfall accumulations across 
  eastern Puerto Rico are expected to range between 2 and 4 inches 
  with isolated higher amounts. Elsewhere in Puerto Rico and across 
  the U.S. Virgin Islands, 1 to 3 inches of rain with isolated 
  higher amounts are possible.

Soils are already saturated across the eastern third of Puerto Rico 
and portions of the western interior, where rivers and small streams 
are running well above normal. As a result, there is a high risk for 
flash flooding particularly across the eastern third of the island 
Thursday afternoon into Friday evening. Any period of prolonged 
heavy rainfall will result in mudslides in areas of steep terrain. 
At this time, the highest risk of heavy rainfall is expected on 
Friday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take 
action if Flash Flood Warnings are issued.

  Croix and St.Thomas...St. John...and Adjacent Islands.

* From 2 PM AST this afternoon through Friday evening

* There is a high risk for flash flooding across the local 
  islands,   particularly this afternoon into Friday evening. A 
  tropical disturbance with abundant moisture, which is now located 
  near the Lesser Antilles, is expected to interact with an upper 
  level trough to aid in periods of moderate to heavy rainfall 
  across Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands
  especially this afternoon into Friday evening. 

* Showers will continue to increase across the surrounding waters of 
  Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands as the tropical wave and 
  associated moisture moves closer to the region. Thunderstorms with 
  periods of moderate to heavy rainfall are likely to persist this 
  afternoon, becoming more frequent by Friday morning. Rainfall 
  accumulations across eastern Puerto Rico will range between 2 and 
  4 inches with isolated higher amounts. Elsewhere in Puerto Rico 
  and across the U.S. Virgin Islands, 1 to 3 inches of rain with

  Eastern Interior, Mayaguez and Vicinity, North Central, Northeast, 
  Northwest, Ponce and Vicinity, San Juan and Vicinity, Southeast,

* Through Saturday evening

* There is a high risk for flash flooding across the local islands, 
  through Saturday, especially in Puerto Rico. A tropical wave with 
  abundant moisture is interacting with an upper level trough and 
  causing moderate to heavy rainfall across Puerto Rico and the US 
  Virgin Islands.


* Showers and thunderstorms will resume across Puerto Rico Saturday, 
  and continue over the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the surrounding 
  waters as the tropical wave and associated moisture exits the 
  region. Total rainfall accumulations across Puerto Rico will range 
  between 1 and 3 inches with isolated higher amounts. In the U.S. 
  Virgin Islands, up to 1.5 inches of rain with isolated higher 
  amounts are possible.

Soils are already saturated across the eastern third of Puerto Rico 
and portions of the western interior, where rivers and small streams 
are running well above normal. Therefore, any prolonged period of 
heavy rainfall will result in flooding and possible mudslides in 
areas of steep terrain.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, including the 
  following areas, in Puerto Rico, Central Interior, Culebra, 
  Eastern Interior, Mayaguez and Vicinity, North Central, Northeast, 
  Northwest, Ponce and Vicinity, San Juan and Vicinity, Southeast, 
  Southwest, Vieques and Western Interior. In Virgin Islands, St 
  Croix and St.Thomas...St. John...and Adjacent Islands.

* Through this evening

* There is a high risk for flash flooding across the local islands, 
  through this evening, especially in Puerto Rico. Abundant moisture 
  from yesterday's tropical wave will produce periods of moderate to 
  heavy rainfall across Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands 
  through at least this evening.


* Showers and thunderstorms will continue over the U.S. Virgin 
  Islands through this afternoon, and will resume across Puerto Rico 
  by mid-morning and through the afternoon. Total rainfall 
  accumulations across Puerto Rico will range between 1 and 3 inches 
  with isolated higher amounts. In the U.S. Virgin Islands, up to 
  1.5 inches of rain with isolated higher amounts are possible.

Soils are already saturated across the eastern third of Puerto Rico 
and portions of the western interior, where rivers and small streams 
are running well above normal. Therefore, any prolonged period of 
heavy rainfall will result in flooding and possible mudslides in 
areas of steep terrain.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take 
action if Flash Flood Warnings are issued.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
1134 AM AST Wed Oct 14 2020

.UPDATE...Fairly quiet morning weatherwise across the local
islands, except showers and isolated thunderstorms across the
local waters early in the morning. A small area of disturbed
weather is moving into the local area this afternoon. Combined
with diurnal heating and local effects, showers and thunderstorms
are expected across the interior and western sections of PR.
Isolated moderate showers can also be observed across the USVI.
No changes were made to the inherited forecast. That said, the
latest guidance is suggesting that the tropical wave expected for
Thursday and Friday may cause significant rainfall across Puerto
Rico, especially for eastern Puerto Rico. This rainfall could be
significant enough to cause at least urban and small stream
flooding. Not ruling out river flooding.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR conds expected through the forecast period, VCSH
is expected across most of the local terminals. However, VCTS is
expected at TJSJ and TJBQ after 14/17Z, with the possibility of
TEMPO MVFR conds due to TSRA. Wx to improve after 14/22Z. Light
easterly winds expected with sea breeze variations through the
day.

&&

.MARINE...Tranquil marine conditions expected. Seas up to 3 feet and
winds up to 10 knots today. Low risk of rip currents for the
local beaches.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 506 AM AST Wed Oct 14 2020/

SYNOPSIS...

Unstable conditions will continue through the end of the workweek,
as an upper level trough to our northeast extends into the local
area and a tropical wave moves across the region on Thursday and
Friday. Urban and small stream flooding is expected as well
as localized flash flooding and mudslides in areas of steep terrain
with the heaviest showers over mainland Puerto Rico. An upper
level ridge will settle across our area over the weekend but
sufficient lingering tropical moisture from the passage of the
tropical wave could possibly generate some shower and
thunderstorm activity. Tranquil marine conditions and light to
moderate winds up to 15 knots are expected across the regional
waters through early Thursday. Later, seas of up to 6 feet through
Friday in some areas over the local waters could be possible due
to the approaching tropical wave. Moderate risk of rip currents is
forecasted for the weekend for northern beaches of Puerto Rico
and local islands.

SHORT TERM...Today through Friday...

Unstable conditions will continue through the end of the workweek,
as an upper level trough to our northeast extends into the local
area and a tropical wave moves across the region on Thursday and
Friday. This will cause pooling of tropical moisture across the
forecast area, with precipitable water content fluctuating between
2.00-2.25 inches during the next few days. Light steering winds with
an east to southeasterly component are expected today, this will
increase the flooding potential across all the islands due to slow
moving storms. Urban and small stream flooding is expected as well
as localized flash flooding and mudslides in areas of steep terrain
with the heaviest showers over mainland Puerto Rico.

The areal coverage of showers and thunderstorms will increase with
the passage of a tropical wave, currently located east of the
Leeward Islands, between Thursday and Friday as the wave moves
westward across the islands. Winds are expected to increase with the
passage of the wave and thunderstorms should bring squally weather
across portions of the regional waters. Heavy showers over saturated
soils during this period will likely cause flash flooding across
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Minor river flooding is
also possible.

LONG TERM...Saturday through Tuesday...

As the tropical wave continues its path westward by early Saturday,
a remaining tail of moisture will fluctuate across our area through
late Monday. At the same time a building upper level ridge will
settle over the forecast area as a very strong upper level low and
an induced surface trough over the central tropical Atlantic moves
southward and remain to the northeast of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin
Islands. A mid level dry airmass will be advected by this strong
upper level/surface low, however, it will remain just north of our
region. Latest model guidance now puts the mid level moisture
boundary to our north with a moister environment than previously
suggested. Precipitable water values will decrease from 2.2 inches
early Saturday to almost 1.7 inches through Monday and 500 mb
temperatures will remain at or below -6 degrees celsius.

Although some subsidence will be present over the weekend through
Monday due to ridging aloft, moderately favorable conditions will
still be present for occasional passing showers in the morning
hours and afternoon shallow convection development with possible
deep convective activity over areas with stronger local surface
heating. Urban and small stream flooding are possible in areas
with the heaviest showers especially over saturated soils.
However, there exist high uncertainty in the forecast depending
where the mid level moisture gradient will remain throughout this
period. According to model guidance, precipitable water values
could increase on Monday and Tuesday to more than 2 inches as the
mid level moisture boundary moves northward increasing the
probability of shower and thunderstorm activity across the area,
but, as mentioned above, high uncertainty exist for the long term
forecast.

AVIATION...Mainly VFR conditions are expected to prevail across all
terminals early in the fcst period. However, TEMPO MVFR conds are
possible through the rest of morning hours across the USVI terminals
due to +SHRA. Also, TSRA is expected to develop over the eastern
interior, central and western PR btw 16z-22z, this will cause tempo
MVFR conds at TJBQ/TJSJ. Low level winds ESE around 10 kts, with sea
breeze variations aft 14z.

MARINE...Tranquil marine conditions with seas below 5 feet and light
to moderate winds up to 15 knots are expected across the regional
waters through early Thursday. This will maintain conditions
below small craft advisory criteria. Later, seas of up to 6 feet
trough Friday in some areas over the local waters could be
possible due to an approaching tropical wave. Shower and
thunderstorm activity will persist through the week due to the
effects of an upper-level trough and the approaching tropical
wave. Moderate risk of rip currents is forecasted for the weekend
for northern beaches of Puerto Rico and local islands.
