000 AWCA82 TJSJ 191345 CCA RWSPR PRZ001>013-192115- Weather Summary for Puerto Rico...CORRECTED National Weather Service San Juan PR 945 AM AST Thu May 19 2022 Cloudy skies were observed across Culebra, Vieques and the eastern third of Puerto Rico, during the nighttime hours. A few isolated showers were noted just east of Puerto Rico, but no rainfall accumulations were reported. Overnight temperatures in general were from the mid 70s to low 80s across the lower elevations to the upper 60s across the higher elevations. Winds were from the east up to 10 mph. For today, a drier airmass with a Saharan Air Layer (SAL) will continue to filter across the region through the weekend. This will continue to result in hazy skies and will limit the rainfall activity across most of the local islands. However, a few quick showers might develop over the western sections of Puerto Rico in the afternoon hours. Maximum temperatures are forecast to range between the upper 80s to low 90s across coastal areas to the low 70s across the higher elevations. A heat advisory with heat indices around 108 degrees was issued for the north-central municipalities until 4 PM this afternoon. Winds will continue from the east-southeast at around 15 mph with sea breeze variations and higher wind gusts near the coastal sections. Today, seas will remain up to 4 feet with winds up to 15 knots across most of the local waters. Over the offshore Atlantic waters, winds will increase slightly up to 20 knots, turning conditions choppy in a few isolated spots. There is a moderate risk of rip current across all the local beaches. $$ This product is issued around 5 AM and 5 PM each day and weather conditions may change between issuances.
