...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...

The National Weather Service in San Juan has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch 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 Wednesday evening

* Tropical Storm Eta, which is located northwest of the forecast 
  area, will continue to pull a deep plume of tropical moisture 
  across the local islands. This moisture combined with favorable 
  environmental conditions will increase the potential for flooding 
  and mudslides across the local islands through at least Wednesday. 
  Based on the latest guidance, the intensity and areal coverage of 
  showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to increase each 
  day through at least Wednesday. Eastern and southern Puerto Rico 
  as well as the US Virgin Islands are the areas with the highest 
  chance for showers and thunderstorms through midweek.

At this time, there is a potential for rainfall accumulations of up 
to 2 inches today and up to 3-4 inches each day for Tuesday and 
Wednesday across eastern Puerto Rico and U.S Virgin Islands. Across 
western Puerto Rico, the potential exists for rainfall totals of 
between 1 and 2 inches each day.

Soils are already saturated across the eastern third of Puerto Rico, 
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.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM AST 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.

* Until 8 PM AST this evening

* Unstable weather conditions with periods of heavy rainfall are 
  still expected today due to abundant tropical moisture 
  accompanying and trailing a tropical wave. Soils are already 
  saturated and small streams and rivers are running above normal 
  levels, particularly across eastern Puerto Rico. Therefore, any 
  prolonged period of heavy rainfall will result in flooding and 
  mudslides in areas of steep terrain.

There is still potential for additional rainfall accumulations 
between 2 to 4 inches today across eastern Puerto Rico and the U.S. 
Virgin Islands. Across western Puerto Rico, the potential exists for 
rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches.

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.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL EXPIRE AT 8 PM AST THIS EVENING...

The Flash Flood Watch for portions of Puerto Rico and Virgin
Islands will expire at 8 PM AST this evening. Although a plume of
moisture trailing a broad and vigorous tropical wave now over the
central Caribbean will linger across the region overnight through
early Friday, a drier airmass and more stable airmass will
gradually filter in across the region from the north and east 
sections of the forecast area. As as result the potential for 
flash flooding will continue to diminish. Consequently the Flash 
Flood Watch will be allowed to expire at 8:00 PM AST this evening.
However soils remain saturated and some small streams and rivers 
are running above normal levels, particularly across eastern and
southern Puerto Rico. Therefore, any prolonged period of moderate
to heavy rainfall in isolated areas may still result in minor 
flooding and mudslides in areas of steep terrain.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS JSJ wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood watch went out at Nov 8, 7:57 PM CST, 5 hours 36 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service San Juan PR
957 PM AST Sun Nov 8 2020

.UPDATE...Heavy rain in southerly flow brought 6 to 8 inch
accumulations to parts of south and east Puerto Rico. This rain
also impeded the balloon launch, so no sounding was received
tonight. Doppler radar did show veering winds from the surface to
30 kft that were generally less than 20 knots. Winds began at
south southeast at the surface, became southwest at 19 kft, west
at 24 kft and northwest at 30 kft. Changes to the forecast
generally involved POP adjustments, an increase in the expected
quantities of rain expected through Tuesday, and a few minor
changes to the temperatures. The latest GFS model appeared to be
boosting the winds speeds too much so the original forecast was
held.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 348 PM AST Sun Nov 8 2020/

SYNOPSIS...

Active weather will persist into midweek, as the tail of Tropical
Storm Eta, located to the northwest and moving away, pulls
moisture across the area. Widespread showers and isolated
thunderstorms are expected across the region, and locally moderate
to heavy rainfall is possible. There is an increasing risk during
this time of flooding and mudslides. After midweek, though, a
drier air mass is forecast to make its way over the area, leading
to a more stable weather pattern.

SHORT TERM...Rest of Today through Tuesday...

As expected, there is a deep layer of moisture over the area, with
above average precipitable water values; the precipitable water was
2.13 inches in this morning's sounding. Relative humidity was
observed to be in excess of 50% from the surface through about 550
hPa, and above 40% through 250 hPa. With this deep moisture over the
area comes rain, and shower activity has persisted through the
morning, and was then accompanied by convective development in the
afternoon. The major driving force behind these conditions is
Tropical Storm Eta, which is located near Cuba, and is forecast to
move into the Gulf of Mexico. The tail of Eta is pulling moisture
into the area from the east, adding to an already fairly moist
environment. Additionally, there is a tropical wave near the
Windward Islands, which will also make its way towards the region,
likely by late tomorrow, adding to the moisture convergence
occurring. The increase in instability over the region, which
contributes to the depth of the column of moisture, is related to
the erosion of a mid to upper-level ridge, in large part due to
the effects of the tropical cyclone. Increasing moisture is
expected over the next couple of days, with precipitable water
values rising to around 2.3 to 2.6 inches, which will persist into
midweek. These values are near or exceeding 2 standard deviations
above seasonal normals.

Because of the deep, significantly higher than normal moisture and
good instability aloft, wet and active weather conditions will
continue; tonight through Tuesday, conditions are expected to be
more active than present. Scattered to numerous showers are expected
overnight tonight through tomorrow, especially over the USVI and
eastern Puerto Rico, as well as the local waters. Isolated
thunderstorms will accompany this shower activity, becoming more
widespread across the area. In the afternoon, the focus of activity
is likely to be northwestern and interior Puerto Rico, though
continuing scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms
are likely across the region. And essentially a repeat is expected
for Monday night through Tuesday. Locally moderate to heavy rainfall
is likely.

Soils were already saturated before today's activity. With the
addition of the anticipated rainfall, flooding will increasingly
become a concern. Even before taking soil moisture into
consideration, the shower activity will cause an increasing risk of
urban and small stream flooding; with the saturated ground in mind,
there is the potential for mudslides and river flooding. The areas
of highest risk are eastern Puerto Rico and western interior
portions of Puerto Rico.

LONG TERM...Wednesday through Sunday...From Prev Discussion...

Weather conditions will continue to remain unsettled on Wednesday
as deep tropical moisture will linger across the area. Therefore,
periods of enhanced shower and thunderstorm activity can be
expected with the heaviest activity expected across the eastern
half of Puerto Rico and the USVI during the morning hours followed
by additional activity across western Puerto Rico during late
morning into the afternoon hours. Urban and small stream flooding
as well as river flooding and mudslides in areas of steep terrain
will continue to be a threat. A surface high pressure over the
western and central Atlantic will then advect a drier air mass
into the region by late Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night.
Therefore, improving weather conditions can be expected during
this time period.

More tranquil weather conditions still expected Thursday through
Saturday as the aformentioned dry air mass will prevail. Patches
of low-level moisture embedded within the easterly trade wind
flow, however, will move across the area from time to time. This
will result in some passing showers across portions of eastern PR
and the USVI during the overnight and early morning hours followed
by the development of some afternoon convection across western
Puerto Rico. Rainfall accumulations for the most part should
remain limited. Breezy conditions are also expected as the
aformentioned surface high pressure will tighten the local
pressure gradient. Winds will be the strongest Thursday and
Friday.

The weather pattern looks to turn more unsettled by the end of
the long term period due to a mid to upper-level low moving over
the area. This will induce a low-level trough, which will advect
deeper moisture into the area from the southeast. Therefore, if
model guidance is correct with its current solution, an increase
in shower and thunderstorm activity can be expected.

AVIATION...SHRA across the local area will cause VCSH across most
of the local terminals today. VCTS possible at TJBQ and TJPS
after 08/18Z. Widespread cloudiness could cause CIGs at around
FL050-070 and around FL020-030 with the SHRA/TSRA. ESE winds with
sea breeze variations at around 15kt for the rest of today,
decreasing after 08/22Z. BKN/OVC SKY through the night at
FL060-080 possible. Conds ovr the NW part of PR are expected to
imprv aft 09/01Z. Maximum winds WNW-NW 35-45 kt btwn FL410-490.

MARINE...

Seas of up to 6 feet are expected for the offshore Atlantic waters
and around the northern part of the Anegada Passage today through
tomorrow. Generally, seas of up to 5 feet will continue for the rest
of the local waters. Increasing winds associated with a building
surface high over the western and central Atlantic will lead to
increasing seas, becoming choppy to hazardous as soon as tomorrow
evening for northern and eastern portions of the local waters; these
conditions will spread across much of the local waters, and persist
for several days. The moderate risk of rip currents continues for
most north-facing beaches across the local islands, as well as most
beaches of Culebra, and eastern beaches of Vieques and St. Croix.
The risk is forecast to gradually increase starting tonight.
