Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Juan PR 204 PM AST Fri Jan 24 2020

SYNOPSIS. Low level moisture associated to the cold front will continue to aid in the development of showers through the weekend. A long period swell will continue to cause hazardous seas for through Sunday as well create life threatening rip currents along the Atlantic beaches of PR, Culebra and St. Thomas.

SHORT TERM. Today through Sunday . Cold front will remain mainly east and south of the forecast area, however, lingering low-level moisture associated to the front will continue over the region through the short term period. For the rest of today, diurnally induced showers are currently developing along the Cordillera Central, with moderate to locally heavy rainfall observed over the municipalities of Yauco and San German. The 12z SJU sounding indicated a weak westerly steering wind flow and this should keep showers over the interior sections of PR and later this afternoon over the eastern sections, including the San Juan metro area. As the front moves further away from the region a col develops over the region and this will keep a very light and variable wind flow through Sunday. At mid-levels, two short wave troughs are forecast to move from the west, the first one on Saturday morning and the second one on Sunday afternoon. This will continue to provide some instability for showers to develop each afternoon, mainly over the interior of PR. Showers will continue on and off over the USVI through the short term period.

LONG TERM . Monday through Saturday . From Prev Discussion .

Our pesky front will continue to impact us as we begin the workweek. Though the main low pressure system associated with the front will be well off to the east, leftover moisture along with additional moisture being drawn up from the south will keep us wet. Upper level atmospheric conditions still look uninspiring in forecast models, so only a minimal thunderstorm threat is expected. However, given the moist conditions expected over the weekend and associated saturated soils, additional rainfall on Monday could lead to urban and small stream flooding. Less of a flooding threat is expected for Tuesday, though there will still be some lingering moisture to produce scattered showers. During this period of the first part of the week, it should be mentioned that the southern coast where the earthquakes have occurred will be particularly susceptible to rainfall under these conditions.

For the rest of the week, another cold front moving in from the west will bring more rainfall across the region. At this point, Wednesday and Thursday will only see scattered showers. However, as the front nears on Friday and Saturday, shower activity could become more numerous according to long range models. Again, upper level conditions still do not look favorable for thunderstorms, though an isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out.

AVIATION. Mainly VFR conditions will prevail at TAF sites thru 25/10Z except for brief MVFR CIGs at TIST/TISX due SHRA associated with cold front in the vcnty. VRB sfc winds and SHRA expected for the USVI/Leeward Islands thru 25/06z. For the rest of the terminals, sfc winds will continue vrb and shifting more to the north by 25/14z.

MARINE. Small craft advisories are in effect through the weekend due to long period northerly swell, with seas building between 6-10 feet tonight across the Atlantic waters and passages. The highest seas are forecast across the offshore Atlantic waters. A high risk of rip currents will continue for the northwest to northeast beaches of PR as well across the northern beaches of Culebra and St. Thomas through at least Sunday. Seas improve early in the workweek.

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