Weather Summary
000 AWCA82 TJSJ 180927 RWSPR Weather Summary for Puerto Rico National Weather Service San Juan PR 527 AM AST Thu Apr 18 2019 Showers moved west across the local Atlantic waters about 5 to 10 miles offshore of Puerto Rico`s north coast and some did cross the Caribbean sea south of the island. But, by 5 AM AST, only a few crossed over land, leaving skies mostly clear or at worst partly cloudy. The best amounts were about two tenths of an inch which fell on the eastern side of El Yunque. Winds were easterly at 10 to 15 mph along the coasts during the early evening on Wednesday, but quickly subsided to less than 5 mph in most areas. Temperatures ranged from mid 70s in the windward lower elevations to the 60s in the mid and upper elevations. A few more showers will move over the eastern portion of Puerto Rico and around Culebra and Vieques, but skies will be mostly sunny this morning. Then, after noon, showers will develop in western Puerto Rico, and, to a lesser extent, the interior portions of the island. Some of these showers could be heavy enough to cause some minor ponding in poorly drained areas. Winds will increase during the morning hours to 10 to 20 mph with a few gusts as high as 30 mph on the north coast. Temperatures will return to the mid to upper 80s in the lower elevations and to the 70s in the mid and upper elevations. Easterly winds of 15 to 20 knots in the near shore waters of the Atlantic and Caribbean will necessitate that mariners exercise caution. Elsewhere over the local waters, winds will be 10 to 15 knots with choppy seas of 3 to 5 feet. There is a moderate risk of rip currents across all of the northern beaches of Puerto Rico, the eastern beaches of Vieques and the northeastern half of Culebra, as well as the southeastern and western beaches of the south coast of Puerto Rico. $$ This product is issued around 5 AM and 5 PM each day and weather conditions may change between issuances.
