WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IN A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME. WITH SATURATED SOILS AND ABOVE NORMAL RIVER AND

ADDITION...MUDSLIDES WILL REMAIN PROBABLE OVER AREAS OF STEEP
TERRAIN.

* RESIDENTS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS SHOULD CONTINUE TO
REMAIN ALERT TO DEVELOPING WEATHER CONDITIONS...AND BE PREPARED
FOR ACTION...AS EACH ROUND OF RAINFALL WORSENS THE OVERALL

Hey Cycloneye i won't count the numbers of flash flood that you have posted since 48H They don't want to stop yet!
Hope that conditions should improve quickly and earlier than predicted.

Hey Cycloneye i won't count the numbers of flash flood that you have posted since 48H They don't want to stop yet!
Hope that conditions should improve quickly and earlier than predicted.

I lost count of all those advisories that I have been posting during this rain event.Hopefully,things start to calm down but the forecast does not look too promising for drier weather at least until Monday.

Macrocane,stay safe there.

[cycloneye]

Good morning to all.It looks like this rainy pattern will not end today.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
530 AM AST SUN MAY 30 2010

.SYNOPSIS...A BROAD SURFACE TROUGH WILL LINGER OVER THE NORTHEAST
CARIBBEAN THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY. ACTIVE WEATHER...WITH SCATTERED
TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...WILL AFFECT THE LOCAL ISLANDS AND THEIR SURROUNDING
WATERS TODAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MOST OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT AFFECTED
THE LOCAL AREA HAVE MOVED NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE REGION
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AT THIS MOMENT THE DOPPLER RADAR IS
ONLY SHOWING A FEW SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS.
SATELLITES IMAGES ARE SHOWING A LINE OF SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS THE
MONA PASSAGE...THIS WILL RESULT ON A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE ON
SHOWERS ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF PUERTO RICO THROUGH MID
MORNING. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
OVER THE ISLAND AT AROUND NOON...THIS WILL COMBINE WITH LOCAL
EFFECT TO GENERATE PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF PUERTO
RICO...AGGRAVATING THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS OF SATURATED SOILS AND
ABOVE NORMAL RIVER AND STREAM FLOWS. THE POTENTIAL FOR MUDSLIDES
WILL REMAIN HIGH OVER AREAS OF STEEP TERRAIN.

MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT THE HIGH AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA
THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY. THEREFORE EXPECT AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND NORTHERN PORTIONS
OF PUERTO RICO.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST TAF SITES DURING
THE MORNING HOURS. FOR THIS AFTERNOON OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDS AND
TEMPORARY IFR CONDITIONS WITH MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS IN DEVELOPING
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
TJSJ...TJMZ...TJPS...AND TJBQ. PREVAILING VFR CONDS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS TKPK AND TNCM...WITH BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...ALTHOUGH SEAS AND WINDS WILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL...
MARINERS SHOULD MONITOR SPECIAL MARINE BULLETINS FOR NEAR SEVERE
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS. A SMALL AND A SHORT PERIOD
NORTHERN SWELL WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE LOCAL WATERS ON MONDAY MORNING.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
306 PM AST SUN MAY 30 2010

.SYNOPSIS...AT UPPER LEVELS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE WEST INTO
THE CARIBBEAN AS THE MID LATITUDE TROUGH EXTENDING CLOSE TO THE
AREA MOVES EAST. A SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL PASS NORTH OF THE AREA
ON FRIDAY AND DEEPER TROUGH WILL DIG OVER PUERTO RICO THE MONDAY
AFTER NEXT.

AT MID LEVELS...A RIDGE WILL EXTEND ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN FROM THE
EAST DURING THE WEEK AND SETTLE IN THE WEST END BY SATURDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE SHIFTS NORTH OF THE CARIBBEAN AFTER SUNDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

AT LOWER LEVELS...A TROUGH WILL VACILLATE OVER THE MONA CHANNEL
AND PUERTO RICO AND EAST NORTHEAST INTO THE ATLANTIC DURING THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS ACTING AS THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. ON TUESDAY
OR WEDNESDAY DRYER AIR FROM THE EAST WILL DISPLACE THE COPIOUS
MOISTURE EXPERIENCED DURING THE LAST WEEK.


&&

.DISCUSSION...VERY HIGH MOISTURE CONTINUES OVER THE AREA BUT
CONVECTION OVER LAND WAS QUITE LIMITED SO FAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE
DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF A ZONE OF CONVERGENCE PRODUCING MODERATE
TO HEAVY SHOWERS JUST NORTHWEST OF PUERTO RICO AND THE ASSOCIATED
CLOUDINESS WHICH HAS LIMITED SOLAR HEATING OVER THE AREA. THIS BAND IS...
HOWEVER...EDGING TOWARD THE ISLAND AND MAY SPREAD BETTER RAINFALL
OVER THE AREA BEGINNING AROUND 4 PM AST. SOME HEAVY SHOWERS
HAVE BEEN GENERATED NEAR FAJARDO. MODELS SHOW CONTINUED ACTIVITY IN
A BAND ACROSS PUERTO RICO...BUT NOT SO MUCH OVER THE U.S. VIRGIN
ISLANDS.TODAY AND TOMORROW. TOMORROW EVENING THERE WILL BE BETTER
MOISTURE FOR THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TO
INCREASE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING THERE.

WILL CONTINUE THE WATCH AND WARNINGS FOR THE MANATI AND LA PLATA
RIVERS DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE POSITION OF THE BAND OF
CONVERGENCE AND HOW LONG IT WILL AFFECT THE LOCAL AREA. SHOULD IT
CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST RAIN COULD EASILY PUSH SMALL
STREAMS AND PREVIOUSLY FLOODED RIVERS BACK INTO FLOODED CONDITION.

IN THE MEDIUM RANGE...DRIER AIR PUSHES INTO THE AREA LATE TUESDAY
AND DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND THIS SHOULD MARK THE BEGINNING OF
DRIER WEATHER AND WARMER CONDITIONS OVER NORTHERN PUERTO RICO IN
SOUTHEAST FLOW. THE ECMWF IS ALSO SHOWING THIS TREND...WHEREAS
PREVIOUSLY IT REMAINED WET THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SOME CONVECTION IS STILL
POSSIBLE OVER NORTHWEST PUERTO RICO IN CONVECTION RESULTING FROM
RESIDUAL SURFACE MOISTURE.


&&

.AVIATION...
OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS...JBQ/JMZ
AND TJSJ DURING THE NEXT 12 HOURS IN SHRA OR TSRA. PREVAILING VFR
CONDITIONS...WITH BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. WATCH
FOR FREQUENT MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA...BUT THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO POSE A HAZARD TO
NAVIGATION THROUGH TUESDAY.

hope everyone in PR is being careful

At least today there have been less flood advisories than on Saturday. Hopefully,that is a sign of better weather comming in the comming days.
