Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
501 AM AST Fri Nov 1 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Upper level troughs promoting plenty of instability and an atmosphere
loaded with water around a cold front slowly retreating from the
local area will keep condtions wet through at least mid week next
week. A flash flood watch will remain in place until at least Saturday.
Southerly winds will diminish through the weekend but light to gentle
easterly winds will return early next week. Seas will remain hazardous
until Sunday with a high risk of rip currents through Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Sunday...

Fairly active night as upper-level troughs and induced surface
low continues to impact the forecast area. Highest rainfall
accumulations were concentrated across the eastern portions of
Puerto Rico with several river gauges reaching minor to moderate
flood stages. Rio Guayanes in Yabucoa briefly reached major flood
stage before rapidly decreasing as shower activity and excessive
runoff diminished. Shower and thunderstorm activity continues
mostly across the regional waters moving onshore over eastern
portions of Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra and northern USVI.
Expect activity to continue for the rest of the morning hours.
This could potentially result in urban and small stream and river
flooding and landslides.

A cut-off low at upper-levels and induced surface trough will
persist across the area, gradually moving northwest in the next few
days. This will move the moisture associated with a cold front over
the area to the north, but will also bring up a very warm and moist
air mass from the central Caribbean Sunday. High pressure at the
surface over the western Atlantic will not let the cold front move
too far to the north and will cause it to be near by when an
easterly wave moves in from the east. This will bring more showers
and thunderstorms on Friday and some drying on Saturday. Then
moisture from the Caribbean as described above will bring another
round of showers and thunderstorms in southeast to south low level
flow on Sunday. This will complicate areas that have already being
impacted by previous rains, particularly across the eastern third of
Puerto Rico and smaller islands. Soils are already saturated and
streamflows are running well above normal. Therefore, expect
elevated to significant flooding risk and landslides through the
weekend.

.LONG TERM...Monday through Friday...

The long term period is more uncertain, since the trajectory of
the best moisture will depend on the position and strength of the
low generated in the vicinity of the cold front over the weekend.
Nevertheless current model solutions hold the precipitable water
above 2 inches through Wednesday and well above normal for the
season which is about 1.7 inches. Although the best moisture is
expected to be west of the area and southerly flow will contribute
to some above normal temperatures, numerous periods of active
showers and thunderstorms are expected until later next week.
At upper levels a ridge will intrude from the south until a
shortwave passes northeast of the area Tuesday night. This is
forecast to quickly become a TUTT low which returns directly over
eastern Puerto Rico Thursday and pushes over to the Mona Passage
by the end of Friday giving moisture another boost ahead of yet
another easterly wave entering the area. Current indication are
for another wet weekend after Friday the eighth.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)

An unstable weather pattern will bring SHRA/TSRA across the local
flying area. Expect BKN to OVC ceilings between FL020 and FL080.
TEMPOs for MVFR or IFR conditions will be required, especially for
JSJ/IST/ISX. Winds will persist from the NE at 5 to 15 kt with
higher gusts and sea breeze variations aft 01/13z. Winds will become
calm to light and variable aft 01/23z.

&&

.MARINE...

Winds have become east southeast and will remain so through Saturday.
A broad surface high pressure building over the western Atlantic will
hold the remnants of a cold front in the local area until a weak low
pressure deepens over our local western Atlantic waters. A pulse of
northerly swell will also result in building seas through at least
Saturday. Showers and thunderstorms will persist across the regional
waters and passages into the following week.

&&

.BEACH FORECAST...

Nearshore buoys indicate wave heights of 10 feet, with breaking
waves estimated up to 14 feet. These large breaking waves will
create dangerous swimming conditions and may cause minor beach
erosion. Consequently, High Surf Advisories and High Rip Current
Statements will remain in effect. For more information, please
refer to SRFSJU and CWFSJU. Continue to monitor the forecast as
this event unfolds.

&&

.CLIMATOLOGY...

This may be the wettest 7 day beginning on Halloween on record.
The previous record was set in 1992 with 6.30 inches at San Juan.
Here at the office we have already had a total of 5.58 inches
yesterday. With 6 days to go in a very wet period.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

A moist unstable weather pattern will prevail due to the combination
of abundant tropical moisture and a mid to upper-level trough.
Rainfall totals during this period are expected to range from 2 to
4, with locally higher amounts of 5 inches across northern and
eastern Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Elsewhere, expect rainfall amounts around 1 to 2 inches.

Due to the high likelihood that any extended period of moderate to
heavy rainfall will lead to flash flooding, sudden river surges
potentially causing some rivers to exceed flood-stage levels—and
mudslides in areas with steep terrain, a Flash Flood Watch has been
extended.

Although uncertainties are present, unsettled weather conditions
will likely continue from Sunday into early next week. Residents and
visitors, especially those in flood-prone areas or planning outdoor
activities in the coming days, are advised to closely monitor the
latest weather forecasts.
