What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high surf advisory 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 high surf advisory went out at Mar 8, 11:29 AM CDT, 4 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 8, 11:29 AM CDT, 4 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...DELAYED
National Weather Service San Juan PR
1229 PM AST Sun Mar 8 2020
.UPDATE...Mostly cloudy skies and light showers persisted across
the U.S. Virgin Islands and the eastern sections of Puerto Rico
due to the pre-frontal trough. For the rest of the afternoon
hours, diurnally induced showers are expected to develop along the
interior and southwestern quadrant of PR. Urban and small
stream flooding can be expected with this rainfall activity.
The front is currently moving over Hispaniola and the offshore
Atlantic waters to our northwest. The front will gradually sink
and reach the region tonight. Strong northeasterly winds and
increasing cloudiness with shower activity can be expected through
late Monday. Isolated thunderstorms are possible during this
period.
&&
.AVIATION...Mainly VFR early in the forecast period. +SHRA
expected over southwestern PR thru 22z, may cause tempo MVFR conds
at TJMZ/TJPS. Frontal boundary over the offshore Atlantic waters
will move tonight through Monday across the islands. This will
cause MVFR cigs across the local terminals. Easterly winds
expected up to 15 knots for the rest of the afternoon hours,
increasing 15-25 kt w/higher gusts overnight across the northern
PR terminals and TIST.
&&
.MARINE...Rapidly deteriorating rough and hazardous marine
conditions with confused seas are expected from later this evening
across the Atlantic waters and spreading through Monday across the
rest of the regional waters. Seas are expected to build between
10-14 feet due to the combination of a northerly swell and fresh
to strong northeasterly trades. Small craft advisories will be in
effect for most of the local waters through midweek. Large
breaking wave action along the northwest to northeast coast of the
islands will cause rough surf conditions and life threatening rip
currents. Isolated minor coastal flooding is possible on Monday
along the west to northeast coast of PR.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 418 AM AST Sun Mar 8 2020/
SYNOPSIS...
Expect increasing instability aloft and moisture advection across
the area later today through at least Tuesday. This will support
good potential for convective development and possibly isolated
thunderstorm activity across portions of the forecast area. This
unfolding pattern is due to a broad polar trough moving eastward
across the west and central Atlantic along with the arrival of an
induced surface trough, a frontal boundary and moisture associated
with a shear line which will cross the region during that time. The
light easterly winds today, will quickly become more northeasterly
later tonight through Tuesday and significantly increase, as a
high pressure ridge will build north of the region, resulting in
the tightening of the local pressure gradient.
SHORT TERM...Sunday through Tuesday...
Variably cloudy skies prevailed across the local islands during the
overnight hours. Passing showers were observed across the local waters
with a few of them affecting eastern and southern Puerto Rico. Rainfall
totals, however, were minimal. The overnight low temperatures ranged
from the low to mid 70s across the lower elevations under light and
variable winds.
The chance for shower activity will continue to increase today as a
pre-frontal trough prevails across the forecast area. Therefore, expect
passing showers across southeast Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands
early in the morning. As the prevailing wind flow shifts more east
northeast, passing showers will be then focused over north and east
Puerto Rico as well as the outlying islands in the afternoon and
evening hours. Under increasing moisture, locally induced afternoon
showers are expected across southwest Puerto Rico as well.
Still expect bulk of moisture and increased upper level divergence
associated with an approaching surface front and its upper level
trough Monday into early Tuesday. The precipitable water values are
expected to peak at around 1.80 inches by Monday afternoon. In
addition to plenty of moisture and favorable upper level dynamics,
breezy conditions with winds near 25 knots are expected early the
next work week. As a result, still expect frequent showers with
thunderstorms Monday into early Tuesday particularly over the local
waters, eastern Puerto Rico and the US Virgin islands. Although fast-
moving showers and thunderstorms are expected through the forecast
period, there is an increasing potential for urban and small stream
flooding.
LONG TERM...Wednesday through Monday...
A short wave trough is forecast to become amplified and move through
the region Wednesday through early Friday. Surface winds will become
more east to southeast through Friday and into the weekend as the
Atlantic high pressure ridge shifts farther eastward into the central
and northeast Atlantic. The prevailing moderate easterly winds will
continue to advect patches of moisture from the decayed frontal boundary
across the region from time to time. This available moisture and the
instability aloft will continue to support enhanced early morning and
afternoon convection across portions of the islands and regional waters
until Friday. This scenario will favor periods of moderate to locally
rainfall across the regional waters especially overnight and during
The early morning hours, followed by isolated to scattered afternoon
convection each day at least until Friday.
Improving conditions is so far forecast by Saturday and through
the weekend into Monday, as a high pressure ridge is forecast to
build and spread eastward across the forecast area. This in turn
will gradually strengthening the trade wind cap inversion resulting
in erosion of low level moisture advection and convergence. Therefore
a more seasonal weather pattern can be expected for the weekend with
limited shower activity in and around the islands during the overnight
and afternoon hours.
AVIATION...Brief periods of MVFR conditions in SHRA will remain
possible at IST/JSJ/JBQ throughout the day today. VCSH are expected
in and around JPS/JMZ aft 08/16z. VFR conditions will continue to
prevail at the Leeward terminals. The chance for shower and thunder
activity will increase across the flying area overnight into Monday
morning as a surface front reaches the northeast Caribbean. Winds
increasing at around 15 knots after 08/12Z from the east.
MARINE...Seas are expected to remain at 5 feet or less for the rest
of the morning hours. However conditions will quickly deteriorate
and become hazardous later this afternoon; and is then expected
to remain rough and hazardous through at least Tuesday. This is
due to the arrival of a northerly swell along with the rapidly
increasing northeasterly tradewinds, following a frontal boundary
forecast to sink southwards across the regional waters. Increased
potential for enhanced shower activity and possibly isolated
thunderstorms is also expected later today and continuing through
Monday. Please refer to the latest Coastal Waters Forecast (CWFSJU)
and Marine Weather Message (MWWSJU) issued by the National Weather
Service WFO San Juan PR.
