Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
500 AM AST Wed Apr 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Showers are expected to continue throughout the day, mainly
affecting eastern portions of Puerto Rico and adjacent islands
the remainder of the morning hours, then scattered to numerous
showers will develop across the interior and western Puerto Rico
as the day progresses. Tomorrow and Friday are expected to be the
windiest days, maintaining hazardous marine conditions, as well
as life-threatening rip currents across most local beaches. Small
Craft Advisories and a High Rip Current Risk will remain in
effect at least through next Saturday. Swimmers are urged to
exercise caution by staying near lifeguards, avoiding dangerous
waters, and following warning signs.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Friday...

During the night, GOES-16 satellite data detected a broad area of
slightly above-normal moisture and extensive cloud coverage moving
into the forecast area. This resulted in numerous showers across
eastern portions of Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. These showers moved through the region fairly
quickly; however, some localized areas observed up to half an inch
of rainfall accumulation. These showers were accompanied by gusty
winds, with some weather stations reporting wind gusts between 30
and 35 mph at times, particularly across the eastern half of the
CWA. Similar weather conditions are expected to persist through the
remainder of the morning hours.

The forecast remains on track, with troughiness aloft expected to
persist through the short-term period, particularly from Thursday
onward. The limiting factor will be moisture, as model guidance
continues to indicate a significant drop in mid-level relative
humidity by midday Thursday, falling below 10-15%. At lower levels,
moisture content will gradually decrease to near-normal or even
below-normal levels. As a result, periods of limited shower activity
and clearer skies will alternate with brief episodes of showers
associated with pockets of moisture embedded in the trade winds. The
overall flood threat remains limited, with today likely bringing the
highest rainfall accumulations—particularly across the eastern half
of the CWA. Any thunderstorm activity that does develop is expected
to be short-lived and very localized.

Breezy to windy conditions are expected to persist through the
period as the pressure gradient across the northern Caribbean
continues to tighten. This pattern is driven by a surface high-
pressure system building over the west- central Atlantic,
reinforcing strong easterly trade winds across the region. Model
guidance remains consistent, maintaining high forecast confidence
in increasing wind speeds through the end of the workweek.
Thursday is still expected to be the peak of this wind event, with
sustained winds likely to exceed 25 mph and frequent gusts
reaching or surpassing 35 mph, especially across coastal areas of
Puerto Rico and the surrounding smaller islands. Given the
expected wind strength, we will continue to monitor conditions
closely. A Wind Advisory may be issued if forecast trends hold.
These winds could lead to hazardous travel conditions,
particularly for high-profile vehicles, and may cause outdoor
items to blow around or become damaged.

.LONG TERM...Saturday through Wednesday...

At the beginning of the long-term period, conditions will remain
breezy but are anticipated to follow a decreasing trend. At the
same time, this will allow hazardous marine and coastal conditions
to gradually improve, at least from Saturday night through at
least next Monday.

Model guidance continues to suggest that a surface high-pressure
system over the western Atlantic will move eastward into the
Central Atlantic, promoting east to northeast winds through
Sunday. These winds will then become more easterly early next
week. Meanwhile, a mid-level ridge will dominate to the north and
west of the forecast area, while troughing develops and persists
over the region through the forecast period. This will promote
ventilation and cooler temperatures aloft, with 500 mb temperatures
remaining between -8°C to -10°C by the weekend. These conditions
will support favorable conditions for deep convection and increase
the chances of thunderstorm development. However, a significant
drop in moisture content across different levels of the atmosphere
is expected to inhibit significant rainfall and afternoon
thunderstorms. The latest models still show uncertainty and
disagree on the amount and timing of precipitation at this moment
and we will continue to monitor and adjust the forecast accordingly.

Throughout the forecast period, the latest models suggest that
precipitable water values will oscillate between below 1.0 and 1.5
inches, which is considered below normal to near average. As a
result, activity will likely depend on the arrival of patches of
moisture, leading to periods of sunshine and passing showers.
Isolated to scattered showers, with a thunderstorm or two, cannot
be ruled out during the afternoon hours across the western
portions of Puerto Rico, but at the moment, significant
accumulations are not expected.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFs)

Mainly VFR conditions are expected to prevail across all terminals
during the next 24 hours. However, groups of clouds will move over
the area today increasing SCT-BKN lyrs near FL025...FL040...FL080
with Isold-WDLY SCT SHRA across northern terminals of PR and USVI
through 02/15z. E/ENE winds of 15-20 kts with higher gusts through
the period. Winds could reach 30 kts or higher blo FL050 aft
02/22z.

&&

.MARINE...

A surface high pressure over the Atlantic basin will continue
to promote fresh to locally strong easterly winds throughout the
week. Thursday and Friday are expected to be the windiest days of
the week. Seas will continue to build between 6 and 9 feet, and
occasionally higher, across the regional waters. As a result,
hazardous seas are anticipated for most waters through the whole
forecast period. Isolated to scattered shower activity will
continue over the next few days.

&&

.BEACH FORECAST...

Prevailing hazardous beach conditions are expected this week, with
Thursday and Friday seeing the highest risk, as they are anticipated
to be the windiest days this forecast period. This will result in
increasingly rough and dangerous seas, creating life-threatening
rip currents across most local beaches. A High Rip Current Risk
will remain in effect through at least Saturday afternoon along
beaches of northern Puerto Rico, from Aguadilla to Fajardo, Culebra,
and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A moderate risk is in place elsewhere.
Important to note that other areas like Vieques and southeast
Puerto Rico are likely to be added to the Rip Current Statement
later today or tonight, we will continue to monitor conditions.

Swimmers are urged to exercise caution by staying near lifeguards,
avoiding dangerous waters, and following warning signs.
