Weather Summary for Puerto Rico
National Weather Service San Juan PR
428 AM AST Sun Aug 25 2019

A few passing showers were observed across portions of eastern
Puerto Rico as well as the local and regional waters with east to
southeast winds of 10 to 15 mph. This activity is a result of
lingering moisture from the departed tropical wave and an easterly
wind surge. The light showers are expected to continue through
this afternoon before a dry Saharan air mass filters into the the
eastern Puerto Rico. This dry Saharan air mass will continue to
seep into the others areas of the island throughout the
afternoon. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
possible across the interior and western areas of Puerto Rico. If
showers do develop they will be short-lived.

Today high temperatures are forecast to be near the upper 80s to
the lower 90s in lower elevations, and the lower to middle 80s in
higher elevations. Winds will be out of the east to southeast at
10 to 15 mph with higher gusts.

A tranquil weather pattern is expected to prevail today through
Tuesday, as a result of, a dry saharan air mass holding over the
area. Therefore expect fair weather with hazy skies to prevail
through Tuesday with limited shower activity across the adjacent
islands and Puerto Rico. However, development of a few showers
can`t be ruled out, as a result of, diurnal heating and local
effects during the afternoons mainly over the interior and western
areas of Puerto Rico.

Across the local waters, expect seas up to 5 feet and winds up to
20 knots. Therefore, small craft operators are urged to exercise
caution. There is a moderate risk of rip currents for the
northern, southwestern and eastern coast of Puerto Rico, as well
as for some beaches across Vieques and Culebra.
