Weather Summary for Puerto Rico
National Weather Service San Juan PR
503 PM AST Fri Feb 22 2019


Partly cloudy skies prevailed this afternoon with strong easterly
winds of 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts. Some showers moved over
the area, but as a result of limited moisture in the low-level of
the atmosphere, and their fast movement rainfall was less than a
tenth of a inch. Todays high temperatures reached the middle to
upper 80s in lower elevations, and the middle to upper 70s in
higher elevations.

Tonight temperatures are forecast to be near the upper 60`s to
lower 70s in lower elevations, and the lower to middle 60s in
higher elevations. Winds will be out of the east at 10 to 15 mph.

The mid and upper-level ridge will continue to hold over the
region through the weekend. This will continue to suppress the
vertical development of showers, and promote a strong trade wind
cap. However, at the surface, low-level moisture embedded in the
trades winds will periodically move over the island, and cause
scattered showers through the weekend.


Across the regional waters...hazardous seas up to 8 feet are
expected most of the local waters through late Saturday. Winds
are expected to be from the east between 15 and 20 knots. A high
risk of rip currents for the northern, eastern, and western
beaches of Puerto Rico.
