Weather Summary
590 AWCA82 TJSJ 210940 RWSPR Weather Summary for Puerto Rico National Weather Service San Juan PR 540 AM AST Mon Oct 21 2019 Northeast flow increased over night over the local waters. Winds over the local waters then carried the showers that formed in the Atlantic over the north central and northeastern coasts of the island. A few showers also passed briefly over Culebra. Just before dawn there were also thunderstorms over and just north of Vega Alta and Vega Baja and north of Dorado. While most areas received less than one tenth inch, a few areas in the northern parts of Canovanas saw almost an inch of rain. Fortunately, none of this rain was seen in the Culebrinas river basin overnight, allowing the river to subside from slightly more than bankfull levels. Temperatures ranged from the mid 60s to the lower 80s. So far, by 5 AM AST, San Juan had had a low of 78 degrees. Winds were light, variable and generally less than 5 mph. After the morning showers subside on the north coast, some sunshine is on order. Then, showers will develop in the interior and western parts of the Puerto Rico. Showers and thunderstorms could be particularly heavy in the southwest and along the Cordillera Central this afternoon. Urban and small stream flooding will be possible with these rains. Any gusty winds, though possible, should be brief, but sea breezes of 10 to 20 mph are expected along the north and south coasts. Maximum temperatures will range from the mid to upper 70s in the higher mountains to the lower 90s on the southern coasts. Overnight lows will range from the mid 60s to around 80 degrees. Showers are expected to continue through the middle of the week, with a few thunderstorms each afternoon in southwestern, western and interior Puerto Rico. Across the local waters, seas up to 5 feet and winds up to 15 knots are expected. There is a moderate risk of rip currents for the beaches from the northwest to the northeast coasts of Puerto Rico, Vieques and Culebra. $$ This product is issued around 5 AM and 5 PM each day and weather conditions may change between issuances.
