Synopsis for puerto rico and the uS. Virgin islands waters... Moderate to fresh easterly winds continue across the local waters, with the stronger than normal trade winds induced by a strong high pressure ridge anchored over the north central atlantic. These winds will create choppy and hazardous seas which will persist through the remainder of the week. Isolated to scattered trade wind showers can also be expected across much of the regional waters for the next several days.

UPDATE.
Doppler radar shows showers rapidly moving over northern and interior areas of Puerto Rico. This activity is forecast to persist across the region through the overnight and early morning hours. These showers are causing brief moderate to heavy rainfall as well as gusty winds up to 20 mph. As a result of their rapid speed,light rainfall accumulations have occured. However, this activity could cause minor flooding as well as ponding of water on roadways.
Tonight overnight low temperatures will be near the lower to middle 70s in lower elevations and the middle to upper 60s in higher elevations. Winds will be out of the east to northeast at 15 to 20 mph with higher gust possible.
Tomorrow afternoon an increase in showers are forecast as another patch of moisture moves across the region. Also, an upper-level trough to the northeast of the area will provide modest instability during the afternoon; the combination of the upper- level trough, local effects, and diurnal heating could lead to the development of isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon. Analysis of the 12Z and 18Z 500 mb heights of the GFS and ECMWF shows temperatures ranging from -8 to -10 degrees Celsius. The numbers, as mentioned earlier, are adequate to aid in the development of isolated thunderstorms tomorrow. Therefore isolated thunderstorms were put into the forecast today.
Wednesday's daytime high temperatures are forecast to be near the lower to middle 80s in lower elevations, and the middle to upper 70s in higher elevations. Winds will be out of the east to southeast at 15 to 20 mph.
AVIATION.
VCSH are possible across PR and USVI terminal sites through 11/22Z. SHRA/VCTS are expected to develop across terminals TJSJ, TIST AND TISX by 11/06Z with the activity diminishing by 11/12Z. The terminals above could experience brief MVFR conds due to SHRA/VCTS. SHRA/VCTS is expected to develop again across PR northern terminals and USVI by 11/18Z this activity will last through 12/03Z. Sfc winds out of the ENE at 15 to 20 kts with higher gusts possible. Max winds WNW 30 to 40 kts between FL237-287; winds turn W to NW 30 to 50 kts between FL302-406.
MARINE.
A small craft advisory is in effect for all the local and outer waters except for the southern nearshore waters of Puerto Rico. Seas will range from 7 to 9 feet with seas occasionally reaching 10 feet. Seas are forecast to remain choppy through the end of the workweek. There is a high risk of rip currents for the northern beaches of Puerto Rico and the eastern beaches of Culebra. In addition, there is a high risk of rip currents for the northeastern beach of the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the northwestern beach of Saint Thomas.
PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 141 PM AST Tue Dec 10 2019/
SYNOPSIS . A strong surface high pressure across the Atlantic will continue to produce brisk easterly trade winds as well as periods of passing showers during the next several days. More frequent showers are possible on Thursday and Friday as deeper moisture is expected and a mid-level trough amplifies just east of the area.
SHORT TERM . Rest of today through Thursday .
The overall weather pattern is expected to be a dominated by a strong surface high pressure over the Atlantic, which will continue to produce brisk easterly trade winds across the area. This will drive patches of low-level moisture into the region, resulting in passing showers moving across the area from time to time. More frequent showers are possible on Thursday as deeper moisture moves over the area and a mid-level trough amplifies just east of the area, inducing a low-level trough. This low-level trough is expected to move over the area and enhance somewhat the shower activity. The showers that affect the area throughout the period are not expected to result in flooding as the activity will be fast-moving and scattered in nature. Ponding of water on roadways and in low-lying areas is expected to be the main hazard.
LONG TERM . Friday through Wednesday (From Previous Discussion) .
Coming off what appears will be a wet Thursday, Friday will still provide scattered showers across the region. These showers will not be due to any organized weather system, but rather just a decent batch of moisture being advected in by the trade winds. The wettest period for Friday appears to be in the early morning hours, and trending drier for the rest of the day. The usual afternoon shower activity is likely in western Puerto Rico, though atmospheric conditions do not look favorable for thunderstorms at this point. A high chance for showers also exists for the east coast of Puerto Rico. Low level wind flow is still forecast to be fairly strong, so these showers will likely be moving fairly fast.
Conditions do not change much heading into the weekend. Though the chance for showers remains, slightly less moisture is forecast to move in, so a drier few days are expected. In fact, this drier trend continues into the next workweek. Forecast models still hint at the chance for some Saharan dust to move in by the middle of next week, though dust concentrations look unimpressive at this point.
AVIATION . VFR conds are expected through the forecast period. However, passing SHRA may produce brief MVFR conds at TIST, TISX and TJSJ at times, but VFR conds should prevail most of the time. Some mountain obscuration are also possible in the interior portions of Puerto Rico and near El Yunque. ENE winds of 15-25 kts below FL100. Wind gusts of 30 kts are possible with SHRA as they pass by.
MARINE . Moderate to fresh easterly trade winds between 15 and 20 kts will continue to result hazardous seas across the regional waters with wave heights between 7 and 8 feet expected through at least the end of the work week. Therefore, small craft advisories are in effect. For beachgoers, there is a high risk of rip currents across the north-facing beaches of the islands.

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.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
