WEATHER SUMMARY FOR THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
1130 AM AST TUE JUL 21 2009

SKIES VARIED FROM PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY ACROSS THE U.S.
VIRGIN ISLANDS THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE MID TO UPPER
80S UNDER SOUTHEAST WINDS AROUND 20 MPH GUSTING TO 30 MPH. ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVED NORTHWEST NEAR SAINT THOMAS BUT MOST
OF THEM WERE LOCATED TO THE WEST OF SAINT CROIX AS THE OUTER FRINGES
OF A TROPICAL WAVE SOUTH OF PUERTO RICO KEPT BRINGING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHEAST.

WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WILL REMAIN
SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE TAIL OF THE WAVE CONTINUES
TO BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
TERRITORIAL WATERS AND SOME COULD MAKE LANDFALL ACROSS THE ISLANDS.

THE TROPICAL WAVE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK WESTWARD AND AWAY FROM THE
LOCAL REGION TONIGHT. WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATE WEDNESDAY
AS DRIER AIR ARRIVES TO THE ISLANDS.

SUSTAINED WINDS UP TO 24 KNOTS WITH OCCASIONAL HIGHER GUSTS NEAR
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AND SEAS UP TO 8 FEET WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE
REGIONAL COASTAL WATERS UNTIL AT LEAST TONIGHT. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF THE LOCAL COASTAL WATERS EXCEPT
FOR THE NEAR SHORE WATERS OF WESTERN PUERTO RICO.

We watched the radar as it took so much rain activity to the big island. Here, we had one strong rain that only last about 10 minutes around 3 p.m. The day before and since has been overcast, hot and humid. I know you'll be careful Luis, and hope that others are as well.

[cycloneye]

It looks like the worse is over for the whole island.But still a few more showers will arrive from the southeast tonight.I think the sun will shine tommorow in a good way.

[msbee]

I hope everyone in PR was safe

[cycloneye]

You can have an idea of how big was todays event of the strong wave passing south of PR.Many rivers climbed to flood stage in the afternoon,but tonight they are going down.No reports of deaths nor injuries in this.

OK tkanks, all is ok but what a mess wit this strong twave on PR!

[Gustywind]

30 minutes ago, a little cell has tried to developp near my house with numerous lightnings, rumbling from the thunder too and light showers. Right now all is ok, wind is calm and the convective cell has disapeared
Hope this time that all of caribbean friends (especially Luis from PR and the adjacents islands) can have a timeout and somewhat a rest after this episod with a pretty solid and super active twave

1129 PM AST TUE JUL 21 2009

.UPDATE...THE TROPICAL WAVE CONTINUED TO MOVE WEST AND AWAY FROM
THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA. MOST OF THE SHOWERS ASSOCIATED TO THIS
WEATHER FEATURE HAVE DIMINISH OR MOVE OVER THE OFF SHORE WATERS.
AT THIS MOMENT THE RADAR IS ONLY SHOWING ISOLATED SHOWERS MOVING
ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS. A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS WILL AFFECT THE
EASTERN AND SOUTHERN COASTAL SECTION OF PUERTO RICO. WIND REPORTS
SHOWED BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA THEREFORE THE WIND ADVISORY
WAS CANCELED. ALSO MODIFIED WEATHER GRIDS FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW
TO ACCOMMODATE THE ACTUAL WEATHER PATTERN. ALTHOUGH A DRIER AIRMASS
WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION LATER TO NIGH...ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL BE
AVAILABLE ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON TO GENERATE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF PUERTO RICO.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR
514 AM AST WED JUL 22 2009

.SYNOPSIS...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDS WEST FROM THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC TO THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND NORTH ALONG 68
WEST LONGITUDE. A LOW WILL DIG SOUTHWEST TOWARD THE AREA THROUGH
FRIDAY...BUT HIGH PRESSURE WILL EDGE BETWEEN THE LOW AND PUERTO
RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS OVER THE WEEKEND WITH RIDGING FROM
EAST TO WEST NORTH OF THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK.

AT MID LEVELS...A MODEST LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN NEAR 25 NORTH
57 WEST BY FRIDAY...CAUSING THE GENERAL AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE NOW
IN PLACE TO BREAK IN TWO. THE LOW WILL BE DISPLACED BY A STRONGER
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC BY SUNDAY. THIS HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SPREAD EAST AND WEST WHILE WEAKENING AND SHIFT
SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD TO 30 NORTH DURING THE UPCOMING WEEK.

AT LOWER LEVELS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC NEAR 40
NORTH WILL WEAKEN AND SHIFT EAST SOUTHEAST UNTIL MIDNIGHT
SATURDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN REBUILD INTO THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC AND SHIFT INTO THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC NEXT WEEK. A
WEAK TROPICAL WAVE OVER THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WILL MOVE THROUGH
PUERTO RICO THIS MORNING. THE NEXT TROPICAL WAVE WILL PASS SOUTH
OF THE AREA ON THURSDAY. NO MORE TROPICAL WAVES ARE EXPECTED
UNTIL MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK. SIGNIFICANT SAHARAN DUST IS PRESENT
ACROSS THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A WEAK WAVE GENERATED SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION
NORTH AND SOUTH OF VIEQUES AND EASTERN PUERTO RICO AND MOVED WEST
NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 24 KNOTS EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS BROUGHT MODERATE
SHOWERS TO THE SOUTHERN COAST OF PUERTO RICO. BOTH GFS AND NAM
SHOW MUCH LESS MOISTURE AT LOWER LEVELS BEGINNING AROUND 12Z WITH
EXCEPTION OF THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION DEPICTED BY THE NAM. SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL LINGER INTO THE MORNING ACROSS EASTERN PUERTO RICO.
BUT ONLY A FEW WERE PRESENT AROUND SAINT THOMAS AND SAINT JOHN. SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS SAHARAN DUST FROM ABOUT 60 WEST TO AFRICA...BUT
AEROSOL MODELS SEEM TO INDICATE THAT IT WILL BEGIN OVER THE U.S.
VIRGIN ISLANDS LATE TODAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW. DUST WILL
SPREAD INTO PUERTO RICO TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...BUT MAY NOT BE
SIGNIFICANT UNTIL THURSDAY. MODELS ARE NOT BRINGING ANOTHER
SIGNIFICANT WAVE THROUGH THE AREA UNTIL MONDAY AND IT WILL BE
MINOR COMPARED TO THE WAVE THAT JUST PASSED. THEREFORE MOST POPS
REMAIN AT OR BELOW 50 PERCENT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD EXCEPT
FOR A FEW DAYS THIS WEEK IN THE WEST WHERE AFTERNOON CONVECTION IS
ALMOST A GIVEN.

&&

.AVIATION...
SHOWERS AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL CONTINUE OVER EASTERN
PUERTO RICO...BUT MOST TAFS WILL REMAIN VFR EXCEPT FOR BRIEF MVFR
INTERRUPTIONS FROM AFTERNOON CONVECTION IN TJBQ AND TJMZ. WINDS
WILL REMAIN GUSTY FROM THE EAST SOUTHEAST WITH LOWER LEVEL WINDS
FROM 2 TO 11 THOUSAND FEET AT OR NEAR 30 KNOTS.


&&

.MARINE...WINDS WILL ABATE SOMEWHAT DURING THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS
BUT SEAS WILL CONTINUE IN THE 5 TO 7 FOOT RANGE IN MOST WATERS
THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS WILL EXTEND SOME SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
THROUGH THEN. ATLANTIC SEAS SHOULD BECOME MORE TRANQUIL FRIDAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. CARIBBEAN SEAS WILL SEE A RESPITE SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY...BUT MONDAY AND TUESDAY ARE FORECAST TO APPROACH SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA AGAIN.
