931 PM AST SUN MAY 15 2011

.SYNOPSIS...MID-UPPER LEVEL TROF ACROSS THE ERN US WILL AMPLIFY
OVR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND LEAD TO AMPLIFICATION AND BUILDING
OF SUBEQUATORIAL RIDGE FROM THE TROP ATLC INTO THE ERN CARIBBEAN.
A SOUTH SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL MANTAIN A VERY MOIST AIR MASS OVR THE REGION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...00Z JSJ RAOB SHOWED SIG LOW LVL WARMING OVR THE PAST
TWELVE HOURS WITH A MODERATE SSE FLOW. FOR OVERNIGHT...THINGS LOOK
TO STAY QUIET WITH SIG CINH IN PLACE. CONCERN FOR TOMORROW HOW
MUCH CLOUD CVR WILL BE IN THE MORNING TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT
DESTABILIZATION OF ATMS. EVEN WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS...IT LOOKS LIKE
MODERATE SSE FLOW SHOULD BOOST TEMPS INTO THE UPPER 80S LIKE IT
DID TODAY. 0-3KM SRH IS PRETTY DECENT SIMILAR TO SATURDAY IN THE
50-100 M^2/S^2 SO CAN`T RULED OUT BRIEF SPINUPS AND
TORNADOES/WATERSPOUTS LIKE SATURDAY. FCST STORM MOTION IS A
LITTLE SLOWER THAN PAST TWO DAYS LESS THAN 10 KT WHICH COULD POSE
A THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING.

REGION WILL REMAIN IN A SOUTH SOUTHEAST FLOW FOR THE FOREESABLE
FUTURE WITH CHANCES OF CONVECTION PRETTY MUCH EVERYDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS MOST TAF SITES
UNTIL 16/16Z WITH VCSH POSSIBLE. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED BETWEEN 15/16Z
THROUGH AT LEAST 17/21Z IN TSRA OVER TJBQ AND TJMZ. WINDS WILL
CONTINUE LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT THE SURFACE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF
SEA BREEZE VARIATIONS.

.SYNOPSIS...A MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN LOCATED TO THE
WEST THROUGH NORTHWEST OF THE LOCAL AREA TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
MAINTAINING GENERALLY FAVORABLE DYNAMICS TO AID IN CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT. FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL
BUILD SLOWLY TOWARD AND INTO THE LOCAL AREA FROM THE EAST AND
SOUTHEAST...RESULTING IN A SOMEWHAT LESS UNSETTLED WEATHER
PATTERN LOCALLY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN
ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY AND WILL COMBINE WITH
LOCAL EFFECTS AND AFOREMENTIONED FAVORABLE MID TO UPPER LEVEL
CONDITIONS...TO PRODUCE A GOOD DEAL OF CLOUDINESS...SHOWERS AND A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE LOCAL ISLANDS...BUT
ESPECIALLY OVER THE INTERIOR AND NORTH SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO...IN
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST STEERING FLOW. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND AT
LEAST SOME URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING ARE EXPECTED IN A FEW
LOCATIONS...WITH LOCALIZED FLASH AND RIVER FLOODING POSSIBLE. IN
ADDITION...IF DEVELOPING CONVECTION CAN OVERCOME EARLY MORNING
CAPPING AND LOW LEVEL STABLE ENVIRONMENT...THEN COULD BE A COUPLE
OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS...AS EARLY MORNING VWP STILL SHOWING
DECENT MID LEVEL WIND FLOW OF 30 TO 35 KNOTS. ALSO...VWP PROFILE
INDICATING MORE VEERING WITH HEIGHT DEVELOPING...AS WE HAVE
PROGRESSED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS (SINCE 00Z SOUNDING). THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS...FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLY SOME SMALL HAIL IN A
COUPLE OF LOCATIONS. FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH MID
LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE BUILDING ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA AND AIR MASS IS
FORECAST TO BECOME SLIGHTLY DRIER AND MORE STABLE...FEEL THE
OVERALL PATTERN WILL REMAIN SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED...WITH AT LEAST
DIURNALLY AND NOCTURNALLY INDUCED CONVECTION EACH DAY.

SITES THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. ANOTHER DIURNAL INCREASE IN
CLOUDINESS...SHWRS AND TSTMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTH...
CENTRAL AND WEST SECTIONS OF PR. THIS SHWR/TSTM ACTIVITY WILL
PRODUCE TEMPO PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR CONDS AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS
ACROSS TJBQ...TJMZ AND POSSIBLY TJSJ FROM 16/17-22Z. LATEST TJSJ
SOUNDING AT 16/00Z INDICATED SSE TO SE WINDS AT 10 TO 25 KTS BTWN

SWLY ABOVE 12 KFT.

&&

.MARINE...GENERALLY EXPECT WINDS OF 16 KNOTS OR LESS AND SEAS OF

258 PM AST MON MAY 16 2011

.SYNOPSIS...AT UPPER LEVELS...THE CORE OF THE SUB TROPICAL JET WILL REMAIN
TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEK. FLOW WILL CONTINUE
TO BE WEST SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHWEST WITH RIDGING TO THE EAST AND
TROUGHING TO THE WEST.

AT MID LEVELS...LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN UNITED
STATES DURING THE WORK WEEK WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE TROPICAL
ATLANTIC NOSING INTO THE CARIBBEAN. THE LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC OVER THE WEEKEND...BUT HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN
FIRM IN THE WESTERN TROPICAL ATLANTIC.

AT LOWER LEVELS...SOUTH FLOW WILL SLOWLY TURN TO THE EAST DURING
THE NEXT 7 DAYS...BUT WILL KEEP THE LOWER LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
WET THROUGH THE NEXT 10 DAYS.


&&

.DISCUSSION...AFRICAN DUST WAS VISIBLE OVER PUERTO RICO TODAY AND
CUT VISIBILITIES DOWN FROM WELL OVER 30 MILES TO JUST BARELY 10
MILES. ALTHOUGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES HAVE REMAINED MODERATE...
SHOWER ACTIVITY FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO GET ESTABLISHED OVER LAND
AREAS BEFORE 3 PM AST. NEVERTHELESS NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVED NORTH FROM THE CARIBBEAN AND BECAME ISOLATED
ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD OF PUERTO RICO. EAST SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL
CARRY MOISTURE NOW THROUGH FRIDAY ACROSS PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S.
VIRGIN ISLANDS THAT WILL KEEP SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE USUAL DIURNAL PATTERN ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE
NEXT 5 DAYS. THE GFS IS DEPICTING THE LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE
OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES FOR THE NEXT 5 DAYS WHILE HIGH
PRESSURE DOMINATES THE ATLANTIC. HENCE LITTLE CHANGE IN THE BASIC
WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED NOT WITHSTANDING THE USUAL
VARIATIONS IN LOCAL MOISTURE FIELDS. EVEN AFTER THE LOW MOVES
OFFSHORE INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS WEST
INTO FLORIDA...MOISTURE PERSISTS WITH NO LESS THAN 1.75 INCHES AND
OFTEN ABOVE 2 INCHES OF PRECIPITABLE WATER DURING THE NEXT 10
DAYS. THIS WILL KEEP DAILY SHOWERS OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE
PERIOD. TEMPERATURES SHOULD MODERATE A LITTLE BIT MID WEEK FOR THE
SAN JUAN AREA...WHICH SAW AT LEAST 91 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION...SHWRS AND TSTMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
NORTH...CENTRAL AND WEST SECTIONS OF PUERTO RICO THIS AFTERNOON.
AS A RESULT...BRIEF MVFR CONDS AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE STILL
EXPECTED ACROSS TJBQ...TJMZ AND POSSIBLY TJSJ THROUGH ABOUT 17/00Z.
LATEST TJSJ SOUNDING AT 16/12Z INDICATED S WINDS AT 10 TO 25 KTS
BTWN SFC TO 5 KFT. MVFR OR EVEN IFR CONDS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS TNCM

.DISCUSSION...REGION REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN ANOMALOUS
UPPER LEVEL TROF ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. WITH TIME
THIS TROF WILL PULL TO THE NORTH WITH MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING

SHOW A SIG DRYING TREND OVR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS LATEST NESDIS
BLENDED TPW IMAGERY SHOWS VERY DRY AIR EAST OF 50W THAT COULD

SIGNS OF SAHARAN DUST. IN ADDITION...NAAPS ANALYSIS DOES NOT
INDICATE ANY SAHARAN DUST ACROSS THAT PART OF THE ATLC WITH DUST
MAINLY CONFINED TO THE WEST AFRICAN COAST AND THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS.

EXPECT CONVECTION TO CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE ERN PORTION OF PR AND
THE USVI OVERNIGHT WITH ACTIVITY REDEVELOPING ACROSS NW PR IN THE
AFTERNOON UNDER A SOUTHEAST FLOW. MORE STABLE AND DRIER AIR WILL
WORK WWD INTO THE LEEWARDS AND THE USVI TOMORROW GREATLY LIMITING
