Weather Summary for Puerto Rico...CORRECTED
National Weather Service San Juan PR
446 PM AST Fri Jan 27 2023
A mixture of sunshine and clouds persisted across the region as
the remnants of a frontal boundary crossed the islands and coastal
waters. Passing showers of mostly light to moderate intensity
continued over parts of Puerto Rico and the adjacent islands
during the afternoon. So far estimated rainfall accumulations were
a half an inch or less in most areas. Winds were from the east to
northeast between 12 to 15 mph with higher gusts between 20 to 25
mph. High temperatures ranged from the upper 60 to low 70s in the
mountains and valleys to the low to mid 80s along the coastal areas.
A gradual diminishing of cloudiness and shower activity is expected
over the islands into the early evening hours, as the moisture
remnants will move farther south of the islands while dissipating.
However, for the overnight and early morning hours another patch
of quick passing clouds and showers will reach the north and east
coastal areas. This will bring another round of showers to the
region. Rainfall amounts are not expected to be significant. Winds
will become east to northeast at less than 10 mph as the land
breeze kicks in. Low temperatures will range from the upper 50s to
low 60s in the mountain and valleys to the low to mid 70s along
the coastal areas. Breezy conditions with periods of sunshine and
passing clouds and occasional showers can be expected on Saturday,
but most of the activity will be fast moving with little
accumulation expected.
A northerly swell coupled with the winds of 15 to 20 knots will
maintain choppy and hazardous seas between 5 to 8 feet through the
weekend. Small craft advisories and precautionary statement will
therefore continue for most of the local waters and passages.
For beachgoers, the risk of rip currents will high for the northwest
to northeast beaches of Puerto Rico and the Culebra beaches through
the weekend. Rip current risk will be moderate for the Rincon beaches,
some beaches in the southeast as well as in Vieques. There will be
low risk for the Ponce and the surrounding beaches.
