Weather Summary
000 AWCA82 TJSJ 172108 RWSPR Weather Summary for Puerto Rico National Weather Service San Juan PR 508 PM AST Wed Oct 17 2018 A mixture of sunshine and clouds prevailed across the region today as a tropical wave continued to cross the eastern Caribbean. During most of the day, showers and isolated thunderstorms developed across the coastal waters and quickly moved westwards across the islands. These showers and storms produced periods of moderate to heavy rains with brief wind gusts between 25-35 mph in some areas. So far no significant flood problems were observed or reported as most of the rainfall was fast moving and of short duration. Breezy east to northeast winds persisted across the region with maximum high temperatures ranging between the mid to high 80s along coastal areas. The tropical wave is expected move south of the islands overnight through early Thursday morning. Consequently sufficient low level moisture will linger across the region to support continued shower and isolated thunderstorm activity. A drier air mass is expected to filter in by Thursday afternoon and during the latter part of the work week. However, diurnally induced afternoon convection can be expected over the western sections of the island each day through the weekend. Across the regional waters, small crafts advisories are in effect for most of the regional waters due to seas up to 7 feet. East to northeast winds will prevail between 15 to 20 mph with occasionally higher gusts. There is a high rip current risk for the northern beaches of Puerto Rico and Culebra. $$ This product is issued around 5 AM and 5 PM each day and weather conditions may change between issuances.
