Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Juan PR 911 PM AST Sat Dec 14 2019

UPDATE. Latest TJSJ sounding came in moist with a precipitable water around 2.00 inches. Therefore, scattered showers will continue to affect portions of southern and eastern Puerto Rico as well as the USVI during the overnight and morning hours of Sunday. Given the relatively fast moving nature of these showers, rainfall accumulations should remain on the light side with most areas seeing a quarter of an inch or less. Therefore, ponding of water on roadways will continue to be the main hazard associated with these showers. By later Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening, moisture content is expected to diminish significantly, reducing the trade wind shower activity.

AVIATION. Mainly VFR conditions expected across the area. However, sct SHRA across the eastern PR, USVI, and Leeward Islands terminals will result in VCSH as well as possible -SHRA/SHRA at the actual terminals. Brief MVFR conditions are possible due to reduction in visibility. Surface winds will generally be from the E-ESE below 10 kts through the overnight period, increasing up to 15 kts with some sea breeze variations after 15/14z.

MARINE. Moderate to fresh easterly trade winds between 15 and 20 kts will continue to result in rough seas between 5 and 7 feet across the regional waters. Therefore, small craft advisories continue in effect across the majority of the regional waters, except for the waters along coastal locations of southern and western Puerto Rico. A high risk of rip currents continues for the northern beaches of Puerto Rico, Culebra and Saint Croix through Sunday with a moderate risk expected across most of the other beaches.

PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 148 PM AST Sat Dec 14 2019/

SYNOPSIS . A southerly brisk wind flow will continue to bring passing showers through the forecast area. Winds are forecast to diminish on Sunday, but they will increase once again by the beginning of the workweek as a low to mid-level high pressure builds over the Atlantic Ocean.

SHORT TERM . Tonight through Monday . A southerly wind flow will continue to drag passing showers across the southern and eastern coast of Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra and across the U.S. Virgin Islands through the nighttime and morning hours on Sunday. Winds will subside a bit on Sunday as the pressure gradient loosen. However, by Monday, a low to mid-level ridge builds over the western Caribbean which will promote, once again, a brisk wind flow across the local area. As a result, marine conditions will continue to be hazardous for small crafts and for the beachgoers. In addition, winds will shift from the east-northeast, which should favor an advective pattern across the northern and eastern half of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Moisture content appears to diminish, though, which should limit the frequency of this activity.

LONG TERM . Tuesday through Sunday .

A ridge stretching across the Atlantic on Tuesday to our north will continue to be the dominant feature for the region. It will help to maintain moderate easterly trade winds; as the high pulls away to the east Wednesday into Thursday, winds are forecast to subside somewhat and shift slightly to out of the east-southeast. In the mid- levels, a ridge will persist over the area through the week next week, weakening and pulling away over the weekend as a trough pushes into the area on Sunday. On Tuesday, a weak disturbance making its way into the forecast area will bring enhanced moisture. Meanwhile, a weak upper-level trough will move eastward, stretching over Hispaniola by late Tuesday. This will aid in the development of afternoon shower activity due to local effects and diurnal heating. Passing showers are also likely during the overnight and morning hours. Behind this disturbance is a dry slot that will push into the area on Wednesday. Though the drying trend will continue on Thursday, patches of moisture will begin to filter in. The upper level trough will make its way over us, proceeding eastward Wednesday, pulling away in the latter part of the week. While these factors will likely serve to inhibit somewhat shower activity, the usual pattern of afternoon showers are still likely both days.

Increasing moisture is expected Friday and into the weekend, with the moisture anticipated to extend into the mid-levels. A perturbation pushing into the Caribbean will begin to develop into an inverted trough as it makes its way westward. From here, the certainty in the synoptic patter diminishes significantly. The GFS suggests that this inverted trough will deepens and develop a low that will undergo rapid cyclogenesis off the coasts of New England and Nova Scotia on Sunday. While the ECMWF does show some development of a trough, its solution is much less bullish with this, instead maintaining a strong ridge over the eastern coast of North America. Especially with this being more than a week out, I am somewhat incredulous of the scenario the GFS presents. However, with some developing trough still anticipated, enhanced shower activity is likely for the weekend.

Aviation . Brief SHRA expected across the local area for the rest of today, which will cause at least VCSH across the local terminals. However, -SHRA/SHRA is possible at the actual terminals, but at this time any reduction in visibility, although possible, it is expected to be brief as the SHRA activity is moving quickly. The local winds are expected to be mainly from the E to ESE at 10-15KT with occasional gusts for until 14/23Z, lighter winds thereafter but scattered SHRA will still be expected overnight.

MARINE . Hazardous marine conditions due to strong winds will continue with a slight decrease in seas through the weekend. However, winds will increase once again by the beginning of the workweek, which will result in high seas once again. Seas are up to 8 feet with winds up to 20 knots. Small craft advisories are in effect for most of the waters, except for the coastal waters of southern and southwestern Puerto Rico.
