000 AWCA82 TJSJ 280800 RWSPR PRZ001>013-282200- Weather Summary for Puerto Rico National Weather Service San Juan PR 400 AM AST Sun May 28 2023 A moist plume streaming across the region caused increased cloud cover and brought showers with isolated thunderstorms to eastern and southern sections of Puerto Rico. Through 4 AM AST, radar- estimated rainfall accumulations have peaked between two to three inches in Guayama and neighboring municipalities. Elsewhere, fair weather conditions under partly cloudy skies prevailed. Overnight minimum temperatures range from around 66 degrees across the higher elevations to about 79 degrees across the lower elevations of northeastern Puerto Rico. Winds were generally calm to light from the east-southeast but variable further inland. As the moist plume continues to stream across the region, showers with isolated thunderstorms will continue to affect the eastern and southern sections of the island this morning. As the day progresses, the shower and thunderstorm activity will shift to land areas, aided by local effects and diurnal heating, clustering along the northwestern quadrant of the island. Moderate to locally heavy rains could result in flooding impacts, including localized flash flooding. Elsewhere, showers are still possible but with lower rainfall totals and potential risks, mainly downwind from El Yunque and the local islands. Daytime maximum temperatures will peak into the lower 90s across lower elevations and other urban areas, with heat indices likely exceeding 102 degrees. Winds will become more east-southeasterly at 10-15 mph with higher gusts and sea breeze variations. Across the local waters, mariners can expect seas up to 5 feet and east-to-southeast winds up to 15 knots. For beachgoers, life- threatening rip currents are possible across northern and eastern Puerto Rico and Culebra beaches. $$ The last Weather Summary for the Puerto Rico will be issued on Wednesday, May 31, 2023.
