Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
1111 AM AST Sat Feb 5 2022

.UPDATE...Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms were
observed through the morning hours across the region. Estimated
rainfall amounts up to 1.50 inches were noted in portions of Rio
Grande and Humacao since midnight. A similar weather pattern will
continue through the rest of the day, with additional showers and
thunderstorms developing along the interior and western sections
of PR and over portions of the USVI this afternoon. Urban and
small stream flooding is expected with the heaviest showers.
Localized flash flooding and mudslides cannot be ruled out due to
saturated soils in some areas. No significant changes were made to
the previous forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...Tempo MVFR to brief IFR conditions are possible across
all terminals during the next 8-12 hours, as showers and
thunderstorms are expected to linger across the region through the
evening hours. The 05/12z TJSJ sounding indicated NE winds up to
15 kts blo FL100.

&&

.MARINE...Rough seas between 7-10 feet continue across the
regional waters due to the combination of a northerly swell and
short period wind waves generated by the fresh trade winds. No
change from previous marine forecast and hazards. High surf and
life-threatening rip currents will continue through the rest of
the weekend across most of the beaches of all Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition, showers and isolated thunderstorms
with frequent lightning strikes and gusty winds are expected
across both coastal and offshore waters.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 534 AM AST Sat Feb 5 2022/

SYNOPSIS...Unsettled weather conditions will prevail once again
over the local area due to the proximity of the frontal boundary.
Thunderstorm development will remain possible across Puerto Rico
through the day. Periods of moderate to heavy rain could trigger
urban and small stream flooding later this afternoon across the
interior, northwest, north-central Puerto Rico. Hazardous and
life- threatening rip currents continue for most of the north-
facing beaches of Puerto Rico and all beaches of Culebra, Vieques
and the USVI. A swell is affecting the local beaches today and a
Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the local waters until
Sunday. Expect minor coastal flooding causing erosion in some
areas during high tide.

SHORT TERM...Today through Monday...

Surface high pressure north of the region will shift farther
eastward into the central Atlantic today but will be reinforced by a
strong area of high pressure which will exit the eastern seaboard
and cross the northwest Atlantic by early Sunday. This will help to
maintain moderate northeasterly winds across the region, but is
expected to become more easterly by Monday as the ridge shifts into
the north central Atlantic.  In doing so, the prevailing winds  will
become light to moderate as the local pressure gradient gradually
loosens. In the meantime the frontal boundary and deep layered
moisture field has now shifted east southeast over the northern
Leewards and just southeast of the islands. Also, the mid to upper
level low and associated trough continued to sag southwards across
the region with the base of the trough axis now extending across the
U.S. Virgin Island this morning. This will now place the region in
the cooler and more stable airmass while keeping the deep convection
just east of the area. However, the proximity of the boundary and
the upper level feature will maintain a moist and unsettled weather
pattern at least for the rest of today. This scenario will still
favor the potential for enhanced shower activity and thunderstorm
development over the coastal waters and portions of the islands
during the afternoon hours. Urban and small stream flooding as well
as ponding of water on roads and in poor drainage areas will again
be likely as well as mudslides in areas of steep terrain due to
saturated and loose soil.

For Sunday, a gradual improvement expected as the upper levels
become more stable and drier as a ridge will build across the region
from the west, and low leve moisture continues to erode. However an
advective weather pattern will persist and therefore under the
prevailing east to northeast wind flow , passing showers will
continue during the morning hours followed by locally and diurnally
induced afternoon convection over portions of the islands. Shower
development and thunderstorms activity should be more localized by
then and steered by the prevailing low level trade winds. That said,
minor urban and small stream flooding will be possible only in
isolated areas over Puerto Rico with also ponding of water on roads
and in poor drainage areas over the U.S. Virgin Islands. By Monday a
more seasonal pattern is expected but latest model guidance suggest
sufficient advective moisture will be present for locally and
diurnally induced afternoon shower development mainly in isolated
areas over the islands.

LONG TERM...Tuesday through Saturday...

For the first two days of the long period, a transitioning weather
pattern is expected. A mid to upper level trough will move of the
local area, and a ridge will establish over the islands by
Wednesday. Bands of moisture will continue to linger throughout
the area enhancing the potential for more shower activity. This
ridge will promote stable conditions aloft for most of the long
term period across the region. This pattern will result in passing
showers across the local waters moving into the windward portions
of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands during morning hours.
Then, in the afternoon hours, the moisture available will combine
with the daytime heating and local effects causing a few isolated
showers with rainfall accumulations. The U.S. Virgin Islands are
expected to have mainly fair weather conditions. A seasonal
weather pattern but with more patches of dry air will dominate,
and the rainfall accumulation totals remains low. Temperatures
above normal are forecasted in some sectors as the ridge takes
place over the local area.

AVIATION...Prevailing VFR conds at all local terminals durg prd except around
TNCM and TKPK where brief MVFR/Psbl IFR will be possible due to
proximity of frontal boundary and upper level trough. This will
enhance SHRA/TSRA dvlpmnt ovr the northeastern Caribbean. Brief MVFR
 psbl for TJSJ/TIST/TISX due to SHRA/ Isold TSRA til 05/12Z, with
Mtn top Obscr ovr eastern interior of PR due to Low SCUD clds/-SHRA

with ocnl hir gusts aft 05/14Z. Aftn convection likely for interior,
east and west into southwest PR as well as around USVI fm 05/16Z-
05/22Z.

MARINE...A northeasterly swell will be affecting the local area
through the weekend. Expect hazardous marine conditions with seas
building up to 10 feet. Dangerous and life-threatening breaking
waves associated with the northeasterly swell will be present
along the local waters. For beachgoers, there is a high risk of
rip current in effect for all the north-facing beaches of Puerto
Rico, and all beaches of Culebra, Vieques and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for most of the
local zones until Sunday evening. Minor coastal flooding is
possible causing coastal erosion in isolated spots during high
tide.

Esta Perspectiva sobre las Condiciones Peligrosas del Tiempo es para
Puerto Rico y las aguas costeras adyacentes del Atlantico.

.Dia Uno...Hoy y esta noche

.Tronadas...Existe una probabilidad de tronadas con lluvias fuertes
y vientos breves en rafagas esta tarde a traves de sectores de la mayoria
de la isla hoy, incluyendo la zona metropolitana de San Juan y alrededores.

.Inundaciones...Fuertes lluvias pueden resultar en inundaciones urbanas y
de riachuelos, especialmente a traves del centro, oeste y noroeste
de Puerto Rico. Las lluvias fuertes pueden tambien causar aumento
rapido en los rios y riachuelos con deslizamientos de tierra en
areas de pendientes alta. Ademas de posibles derrumbes debido a los
suelos saturados en algunas areas.

.Viento...Se espera viento sostenido en exceso de 20 mph (17 nudos)
a traves de las aguas afuera del Atlantico, porciones de los
pasajes locales y las areas costeras en la tarde, tambien acompanado
de fuerte actividad de tronadas.

.Oleaje...Se espera oleaje peligroso y picado de entre 8 a 10 pies
en las aguas del Atlantico, y pasajes locales y de 5 a 8 pies en el
resto.

.Corrientes Marinas...Existe un alto riesgo de corrientes
marinas para las playas del noroeste a noreste de Puerto Rico,  al
igual que Culebra y algunas del norte y este de Vieques. Tambien hay
un riesgo moderado de corrientes marinas para el resto de las playas
protegidas en la costa sur de Puerto Rico. Se esperan olas
rompientes grandes entre 6 y 9 pies para las playas del noroeste a
noreste de Puerto Rico.

.Dias dos hasta el siete...domingo a viernes

Por lo menos hasta el domingo, un ambiente humedo e inestable
aumentara la probabilidad de aguaceros y actividad de tronadas.
Inundaciones urbanas y de pequenos riachuelos seran posibles con la
conveccion de la manana y la tarde. El riesgo de corrientes marinas
se mantendra de moderado a alto por los proximos dias. Una marejada del norte
y vientos en aumento afectaran las aguas regionales y pasajes
causando oleaje picado y peligroso respectivamente. Oleaje y
condiciones costeras peligrosas tambien estan presentes durante el
fin de semana.

.Comunicado sobre informacion reportada por observadores...

No se espera activacion amplia de observadores. Sin embargo, le
agradeceriamos reportar cualquier informacion sobre inundaciones,
corrientes marinas y oleaje al Servicio Nacional de Meteorologia en
