Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
418 PM AST Sun Jul 25 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A tropical wave in combination with an upper level trough will
result in additional shower and thunderstorm activity through
tomorrow. Then, a Saharan Air layer, along with drier air is
expected to filter in. For the workweek, a more seasonal pattern
is expected to return to the local islands.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Tuesday...
Another active afternoon was observed across the interior, eastern
and northern half of Puerto Rico due to moisture associated with a
tropical wave in combination with an upper level trough/low
(TUTT) located over Hispaniola. Moisture levels continue to be
high in the surrounding environment, with precipitable water
values above two inches as is confirmed by satellite imagery from
GOES-16. As a result, the high resolution models have additional
showers moving over the eastern portions of Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands through the morning hours on Monday. In Puerto
Rico, since these areas have received persistent rain through the
weekend, urban and small stream flooding as well as water surges
along rivers and streams will remain possible.

As the day progresses tomorrow, the upper level trough will begin
to move away into the western Caribbean, while at the lower levels
Saharan dust will filter in from the east. Therefore, in the
afternoon, the frequency and coverage area of the showers should
begin to diminish ,while skies turn hazy. Regardless, low level
moisture should be enough to fuel additional afternoon activity
over the interior and northwestern Puerto Rico, with some showers
also possible from El Yunque toward the San Juan metro area.
Conditions should continue to dry out through the late afternoon
and evening hours. However, by Tuesday, another TUTT to the
northeast of the islands should induce a weak trough east of the
area. In response, wind should shift from the east-northeast,
while bringing some patches of moisture along the area.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday through Monday.../from prev discussion/

A retrogressing TUTT will enhance moisture advection and
instability early in the forecast cycle. As this feature moves
away, a mid level ridge will build once again across the forecast
area with some weakening expected by the end of the upcoming
weekend. At lower levels, surface high pressure across the north
central Atlantic will continue to yield moderate easterly winds.
Latest guidance suggests best moisture advection Wednesday night
into Friday with precipitable water values near 2 inches. This
evolving pattern will result in showers across the US Virgin
Islands and eastern Puerto Rico at times with afternoon showers
and thunderstorms across western Puerto Rico Wednesday thru early
Friday. Friday afternoon into the upcoming weekend, fair weather
conditions are expected to prevail across much of the forecast
area with locally induced showers and isolated thunderstorms
focused over western areas of Puerto Rico each afternoon. Maximum
temperatures continue to range in the upper 80s to low 90s.

&&

.AVIATION...SHRA/TSRA expected to continue in and around TJSJ/TJBQ
through the evening hours. This may cause tempo MVFR to brief IFR
conditions. Mtn tops obscd are expected across eastern PR with this
activity. ESE winds will continue at 10-15 kts with sea breeze
variations through the mid afternoon along the north/northwest coast
of PR. VFR conditions are expected to gradually spread from the
Leeward terminals into the USVI/Eastern PR terminals from late
tonight into Monday morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Buoy 41043 is still reporting seas just below 7 feet with winds
around 20 knots, thus a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for
the offshore Atlantic waters. Other buoys nearshore showed seas
around 3-4 feet. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will continue
due to a tropical wave.

For the beaches, there is a moderate rip current risk for the
northern, eastern and southeastern coast of Puerto Rico, as well
as for Vieques and Culebra, most of St. Croix and the southern
coast of St. Thomas and St. John.
