Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
448 AM AST Wed Nov 8 2023

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough over the eastern Caribbean, and an
upper level trough north and west of the region will continue to
promote wet and unstable conditions through the rest of the
workweek. A mid-to upper-level ridge will build over the local
area from the west later in the weekend into early next week.
A surface high pressure over the western Atlantic will promote
moderate to fresh trades from Thursday onwards.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Friday...
A trough system over the eastern Caribbean continued to generate
showers and some thunderstorms during the night hours, but mostly
over the open waters. A few showers did reach the U.S. Virgin
Islands, with the highest accumulation over St. Croix. This
unsettled pattern is expected to continue today across the islands,
where the elevated risk for flooding will persist. The most recent
satellite-derived precipitable water value imagery show values well
above the climatological value for the region. At the upper level,
the trough is enhancing instability. Additionally, the wind flow
remains on the light side, at about 8-10 kts out of the southeast.
All these ingredients will combine once more to create abundant
showers across the Cordillera Central, stretching into western and
northern Puerto Rico, including the San Juan metro area. Additional
showers will also stream around and over the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Vieques, Culebra, and east-southeast Puerto Rico. Since some of
these soils are already saturated, mudslides can occur in higher
grounds, as well as rapid river rises and water surges.

By the end of the workweek, moisture values will remain enhanced,
but a ridge will begin to build north of the region at the surface
and at mid-levels. This will cause the winds to shift from the east,
and they will become stronger too. With stronger winds, showers
will move faster, but will still leave wet roads and ponding of
water. Also, local effects will continue each afternoon,
maintaining elevated the risk for urban and small stream flooding.

.LONG TERM...Saturday through Wednesday...
A building mid-to upper-level ridge over the central Caribbean and
western Atlantic will promote drier air aloft and warming of the
500 mb temperatures. Meanwhile, a broad surface high pressure is
expected to build across the western and central Atlantic during
the weekend into early next week, promoting stronger trades across
the northeastern Caribbean. Embedded in this flow, patches of
low-level moisture content will move from time to time from the
east. This will promote an advective weather pattern across the
U.S. Virgin Islands and eastern Puerto Rico during the night and
early morning hours, followed by diurnally induced afternoon
thunderstorms over western Puerto Rico each day. Global models
solutions are in disagreement with the synoptic weather pattern by
midweek, with the GFS developing a surface low pressure west of
the region with an extensive moisture field over the local area,
and the ECMWF suggest a frontal boundary sinking from the Atlantic
waters into the northeastern Caribbean with drier air aloft.
Therefore, the current forecast is more consistent with
climatology, but adjustments can be introduced later this week.

&&

.AVIATION...
Mainly VFR conditions before 17Z. From 17Z to 22Z, SHRA and TSRA are
expected to develop along the Cordillera Central, reaching TJBQ
and TJSJ. This will result in periods of reduced VIS and low
ceilings. Passing SHRA will also affect the USVI terminals. Winds
will be from the SE at 8-10 kts, with strong gusts.

&&

.MARINE...
Seas are forecast to remain at 5 feet or less through Wednesday.
Fresh trades (up to 20 kt) during the latter part of the week
will cause choppy conditions and seas will build around 6 feet,
mainly across the offshore waters and passages. A moderate risk of
rip currents will prevail across the east and north facing beaches
of the islands.
