* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents due to breaking waves
  between up to 10 feet and occasionally higher. 

* WHERE...Beaches of northern Puerto Rico, from Aguadilla to

  away from shore into deeper water where it becomes difficult 
  to return to safety. High waves that can wash over jetties and 
  sweep people and pets onto jagged rocks. Rough surf may also 
  knock you down. Large breaking waves will result in localized 
  beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous swimming 
  conditions. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and
dangerous swimming conditions.

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents due to breaking waves
  between up to 6 feet and occasionally higher. 

* WHERE...Beaches of St. Croix.

* WHEN...Through at least late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away 
  from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to 
  return to safety. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

There is a high risk of rip currents.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service San Juan PR
1038 PM AST Wed Jan 15 2025

.UPDATE...

Recent bouy data continues to show pulses of a northerly swell
moving towards the local waters. Current San Juan bouy reports
seas of 6ft at 14 seconds with the Atlantic waters outer bouy
reporting similar values. Therefore, the High Surf Advisory has
been extended until 6 PM AST on Thursday for the northern coastal
areas of Puerto Rico.

The weather forecast for the upcoming days remains on track.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

Passing showers will increase during the nights and early morning
hours through Friday. The remnants of a set of frontal boundaries
could promote increased shower activity by this weekend. Pulses
of a long- period northerly swell will continue to reach the
regional waters. In combination of wind-driven seas, hazardous
marine and life-threatening rip currents will prevail.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Friday...

Variably cloudy skies were observed across the U.S. Virgin Islands
and most of the northern and eastern half of Puerto Rico today.
Light showers were noted this morning over the San Juan metro area
with the Doppler radar estimating just a few hundredths of an inch
between San Juan and Bayamon. In general, maximum temperatures were
in the low 80s across the western and northern coastal sections of
the islands, to the mid and upper 80s across the southern coastal
areas.

A strong upper level ridge over the western Caribbean will continue
to provide stable conditions and drier conditions in general for the
rest of the day. However, at lower-levels a weak surface high north
of Hispaniola will continue to move eastward as a stronger high
builds over the western Atlantic and brings closer to the area
another cold front by Friday. This will allow for better pooling of
low-level moisture content across the local area, and shallow
passing showers in an advective weather pattern will increase during
the nights and early morning hours, particularly on Friday along the
northern and eastern sections of the islands. Cooler temperatures
are expected in general under northeasterly winds.

&&

.LONG TERM...Saturday through Wednesday...
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 540 AM AST Wed Jan 15 2025/

The long-term weather outlook remains unchanged, with minor
adjustments to the timing of moist and dry intervals. The weekend
will begin with increased moisture as remnants of a set of frontal
boundaries converge over the northern Caribbean. Indicators of low-
to mid-level moisture content, such as precipitable water, 700-500
mb, and 850-700 mb humidity, are expected to rise above the
climatological normals.

At upper-levels, a weak shortwave trough will cross the forecast
area on Sunday, reducing 250 mb height fields and bringing some cold
air advection aloft. The 500 mb temperatures will drop as low as -7
to -8C, which could lead to slightly steeper lapse rates. However,
mid-level ridging in the vicinity may still promote dry air
intrusion and stability over the northeastern Caribbean. Despite
this, environmental conditions will be conducive to at least shallow
convective activity.

The pressure gradient in the area will tighten, promoting breezy wind
conditions. Northeast winds on Saturday will gradually shift to east-
southeast by Sunday. Therefore, by early Saturday morning, expect a
cool advective pattern, bringing showery weather to northeastern
coastal areas of the islands, including the San Juan metro area. In
the afternoon, sea breeze convergence and local effects will trigger
shower activity across the interior and western portions of Puerto
Rico.

A similar pattern is expected on Sunday but under an east-southeast
steering wind flow. A limited flooding threat is anticipated
throughout the weekend, primarily across eastern and northeastern
Puerto Rico. Temperatures will also vary with wind and cloud
cover, with warmer-than-normal conditions likely this weekend,
particularly on Sunday, due to the influence of the east-southeast
wind flow.

The remainder of the long-term forecast features a seasonal weather
pattern as the mid-level ridge reestablishes itself over the region.
Shower activity will largely depend on patches of moisture moving
through the area. Precipitable water values are expected to
fluctuate between 1.0 and 1.6 inches. Consequently, anticipate a
mix of fair weather associated with dryer air and isolated to
scattered showers accompanying these moisture patches. However,
significant rainfall accumulations are not expected with any shower
activity.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)

Mainly VFR conditions are expected to prevail across all
terminals during the next 24 hours. However, remnants of a front
will continue to promote BKN cigs btw FL030-FL050 thru the period.
NE winds expected to continue in general between 9-16 kt with
stronger gusts at times.

&&

.MARINE...

High pressure building across the western Atlantic will support
moderate to fresh northeasterly trades through the workweek.
Pulses of a long-period northerly swell will continue to reach the
regional waters. In combination of wind-driven seas, hazardous
marine conditions will prevail across the Atlantic waters and
local passages for the next few days.

&&

.BEACH FORECAST...

The long-period northerly swell is expected to create hazardous
coastal conditions across all the coastal sections. These conditions
will pose significant risks for coastal activities. The northern and
northwestern coasts face a High Risk of Rip Currents, with breaking
waves ranging from 8 to 11 feet and occasionally higher at least
until 6 PM on Thursday. Therefore, there is a High Surf Advisory
in effect for the northern coast of Puerto Rico, Culebra, St.
Thomas, and St. John. Breaking waves up to 10 to 12 feet will lead
to dangerous surf conditions, potentially causing coastal erosion
and localized flooding in vulnerable areas.The high rip of rip
current will remain in effect until Thursday evening along the
north coast.

Residents and visitors in affected regions should heed warnings,
avoid swimming in these waters, and stay informed about updates from
local authorities.
