What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this rip current statement 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 rip current statement went out at Oct 29, 4:04 PM CDT, 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 29, 4:04 PM CDT, 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Juan PR 504 PM AST Fri Oct 29 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Mostly fair weather conditions will prevail for the rest of the afternoon and evening hours, with a few showers possible in interior and northwestern Puerto Rico. Satellite and radar imagery show some clouds and isolated showers approaching the islands from the east, and a shower or two cannot be entirely ruled out. For the rest of the week, mostly stable conditions aloft are forecast for the local area due to a low to mid ridge dominating the pattern. On Sunday, an amplified upper level trough could deep into the area and result in some unstable conditions; however, the activity is expected to remain just south of the islands. Tranquil marine conditions will prevail today, but tomorrow a small northerly swell will result in choppy seas. && .SHORT TERM...Rest of Today through Sunday... A continuing dry pattern was observed during the morning and into the early afternoon over the local islands. This dry pattern with stable conditions is expected to prevail for the rest of the night hours, as some patches of moisture move into the forecast area, increasing somewhat the potential for shower activity. On Saturday, given the combination of the slight increase in the patches of moisture with local and diurnal effects, an increase in shower activity is forecast, mostly for over northwestern sections of Puerto Rico in the afternoon hours. This activity will be limited, however, due to some Saharan dust particles over the region. Meanwhile, for the rest of the islands a few clouds with hazy skies will prevail for the day. Once again, warmer temperatures are forecast over the coastal sections of Puerto Rico due to the southeasterly component in the winds. For the last part of the short term period, more afternoon convection is forecast. In the low levels, a strong building high pressure located over the central Atlantic will tide the pressure gradient increasing the winds. The moderate wind flow from the east will push fragments of moisture over the area, bringing PWAT values to near climatological normals. This moisture, along with the local effects, will result in the typical afternoon pattern over the interior and western sections of Puerto Rico and the evening passing shower for the U.S. Virgin Islands. In the upper levels, there is an amplified upper-level trough moving westward into our area. According to model guidance, in which there is good agreement, this TUTT is expected to amplify and set just to the east east, increasing somewhat the instability over the CWA. However, the presence of the low- to mid-level ridge in the area will inhibit widespread activity. Nevertheless, the shower activity in the afternoon hours could result in ponding of water in roadways and poor drainage areas with the heaviest activity. .LONG TERM...Monday through Saturday.../issued 425 AM AST Fri Oct 29 2021/ A closed upper-level low is expected to settle near the Windward Islands on Monday with a strong reflection in the mid-levels in the form of a closed low as well. However, the mid-level ridge will be strong enough still to inhibit convective activity across the area. This changes by Tuesday and Wednesday as the mid and upper level low retrogrades slightly, closer to the area. This will be sufficient to displace the mid-level ridge far enough north. As a result, conditions aloft will become more unstable and thus more conducive for convective activity to materialize. Low-level winds will become more east- northeast as a low-level ridge settles to the north. Moisture is expected to increase to near normal, with precipitable water values ranging between 1.7 and 2.0 inches. The combination of all of these factors will aid in the enhancement of overnight and morning shower activity across portions of the USVI as well as eastern and northeastern portions of Puerto Rico followed by enhanced afternoon convection across portions of interior, western, and southwestern Puerto Rico. Then, by Thursday and lasting through the end of the long term period, the mid and upper level low is expected to weaken and this will allow the mid-level ridge to bounce back once again to result in drier and more stable conditions. As a result, a decrease in the convective activity can be expected during this time period. && .AVIATION...VFR durg prd. Few clds nr FL025...FL050...SKC ABV.

Tranquil marine conditions will prevail for the rest of the day and early tomorrow, with seas of up to 5 feet and east-southeast wind flow between 5 and 10 knots. On early Sunday, a small northerly swell is forecast to invade the Atlantic offshore waters and local passages. An increase in winds combined with the small northerly swell will generate choppy seas up to 6 feet across the Atlantic exposed waters. Isolated trade wind showers will affect portions of the local waters from time to time during the next few days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
