Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
950 AM AST Sun Nov 10 2024

.UPDATE...

A northerly swell is expected to arrive on Monday, deteriorating
marine conditions along the Atlantic waters and passages.
Therefore, a Small Craft Advisory was issued for the offshore
Atlantic.

Unsettled weather persists as a tropical wave moves south of the
islands. Since soils are saturated, and rivers are running high,
the risk of flooding will be elevated to locally high. Mudslides
are also anticipated. Gusty winds could be expected with the
thunderstorm activity as well.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 548 AM AST Sun Nov 10 2024/

SYNOPSIS...
A broad area of low pressure extending across the region from the
central Caribbean and a Tropical wave crossing the eastern Caribbean
will maintain a very moist and unstable weather pattern through the
holiday weekend and into early next week. Periods of moderate to heavy
rains with strong thunderstorms will affect the region through at
least later this evening. This will result in a elevated to significant
rainfall risk. Expected hazards, include: urban and small stream flooding,
quick river rises, mudslides and flash flooding. A Flash Flood Watch
will therefore remain in effect for the islands through at least this
evening. Rivers and streams will also quickly react to any additional
rains with mudslides likely due to saturated and loose soil. By Monday,
marine conditions will deteriorate as a winds increase followed by
the arrival of a northerly swell. This will bring hazardous seas and
life- threatening rip currents along exposed coastlines.

.SHORT TERM...Today through Tuesday...

Overnight radar and satellite analysis showed an active weather pattern,
with showers and isolated thunderstorms over the waters and most of
the eastern sections of Puerto Rico. At around 3 AM, the heaviest activity
stopped across the islands. However, persistent light rain remained
across most of the southeastern section and the vicinity of Caguas.
According to the observations and radar, rainfall accumulation fluctuated
between 1 to 2 inches across eastern sections. Several Advisories and
warnings were issued with the heaviest showers and across the municipalities
where rivers reacted. Temperatures ranged from the mid-60s in higher
elevations to above 80 degrees across south- central and northeastern
Puerto Rico, Culebra, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Winds were generally
light and variable, with stronger gusts near thunderstorms.

For the rest of the day into Monday, the actual abundant tropical moisture
from the tropical wave moving over the region will continue to provide
unstable weather conditions for shower development during the day.
Given the forecasted conditions today and Monday, residents should
expect significant rainfall and flooding risks, with moderate to
heavy rain from frequent showers and strong thunderstorms resulting
in an elevated to significant excessive rainfall risk across the
region. Since soils across most of the northeast of Puerto Rico are
already saturated, flooding and mudslides will not take longer to
pose a threat today and tomorrow.

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect through this evening, with potential
impacts ranging from urban and minor stream flooding to flash and river
flooding, especially in saturated areas. Rapid river rises are also
likely, creating potential dangers for anyone visiting local rivers.
Those who choose to visit should monitor conditions closely and stay
informed of any guidance from local authorities.

By Tuesday, lingering moisture will likely continue to present across
the local islands; the lack of instability and upper forcing will lead
the islands to remain on a cloudy day with convection resulting from
the orographic effects and the diurnal effects. The southeasterly
wind flow across the region resulted from the interaction of a strong
surface high pressure and an upcoming frontal boundary that will
focus the showers across the northwestern sections and the northeastern
sections of PR. Saturated soils would lead to urban and small-
stream flooding as well.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday through Sunday...

Recent model guidance continued to suggest overall moist and
variable weather conditions persisting through most of the period.
Although mid to upper- level ridging is expected to hold through
early Wednesday, the continued low level moisture convergent pattern
will continue at least through the end of the work week due to the
approach of another frontal boundary/shearline and associated moisture
field. This is forecast to sink southwards across the area, as strong
surface high pressure builds across the west and southwest Atlantic.
This in turn will induce a lighter east- southeast winds across the
islands by Friday then becoming more east to northeast during the
rest of the period.

Although a slightly drier pattern is expected by early Wednesday, these
conditions will be short-lived, as additional moisture convergence
and is expected with the aforementioned frontal boundary and the
approach of a mid to upper level polar trough which is forecast to slide
eastward just north of the region. Therefore overall good convection
is forecast for each day especially across the central interior and
eastern sections of Puerto Rico and also in and around the U.S. Virgin
Island islands steered by the east to southeast wind flow on Wednesday,
then a more east to northeast wind flow by the end of the period. By
late Friday into Saturday, model guidance continue to suggest a gradual
drying tend with low level moisture erosion and weakening of the mid
to upper level troughiness. That said a drier pattern is so far
expected by the weekend with more seasonal conditions and a mix of
sunshine and clouds followed by limited afternoon convection for
the islands.

.AVIATION...

(06Z TAFS)
A tropical wave moving across the region will continue to produce
light RA across most eastern TAF sites until 10/13Z. After that,
SHRA and TSRA are forecast for most of the TAF sites with lower
VIS and clouds across FL020 and FL030 across the mountains and TAF
sites. Sfc winds were E-SE 6-12 kts with sea breeze influences
during the day and gusty winds near the showers.

.MARINE...
Moderate to locally fresh winds from the east southeast will prevail
as a tropical wave crosses the region. Winds will increase by Monday
after the passage of a tropical wave and a surface high pressure
ridge builds north of the region. Moisture accompanying and trailing
the tropical wave will continue to increase of shower and thunderstorm
development across the local waters and passages resulting in localized
hazardous marine conditions during the rest of the holiday
weekend.

.BEACH FORECAST...
There is a moderate to low risk of rip current across all the
exposed beaches of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands through
this evening. For Monday, the risk of rip current will become
high for the northern coast. Although conditions might be suitable
for visiting the beaches, the increase in thunderstorm activity might
result in hazardous coastal conditions across the islands through
this evening.
