Corrected national weather service san juan pr 1059 pm ast Wed apr 18 2018 Update Showers and thunderstorms moved across portions of the interior, northeast, northern and western puerto rico this afternoon. These showers and thunderstorms produced one to two inches of rain across the area mentioned above. As a result urban and small stream flood advisories were issued. At this time the showers have dissipated over land and only remain across the local waters. This is expected to continue through the overnight period. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to increase over the u.S. Virgin islands during the morning, and then start across puerto rico during the afternoon. Once again these showers and thunderstorms could produce brief heavy rain with lightning which could cause urban and small stream flooding. Some noticeable changes with the GFS model are in the recent cross-section for san juan which shows drier air from 850 mb to 700 mb. This area is drier than the last couple of runs of the gfs. This drier air could limit shower development across the region tomorrow and make shower activity less widespread. Aviation Vrf conditions are expected to prevail for all terminals through 19 15z. Shra tsra are possible by 19 15z across terminals tjsj, tjbq, and tjmz. Some shra tsra could cause vsby to fall to MVFR conditions. Sfc winds east southeast ranging 5 to 10 kts. Marine Seas across the outer atlantic and caribbean waters will reach 7 feet on Thursday due to a northerly swell moving across the waters. Other waterways will see seas ranging from 3 to 5 feet with east southeast winds 10 to 16 kts.

Virgin islands, vieques, culebra as well as across the eastern sections of puerto rico.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
