NWS San Juan PR
...There is an increasing risk for Flash Flooding through the
weekend due to favorable atmospheric conditions resulting in periods
of heavy rainfall as well as saturated soils and rivers running
above normal levels...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall.
* WHERE...Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
* WHEN...Through Sunday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low lying and flood prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Low water crossings may be
flooded.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
A trough combined with deep moisture will bring periods of
showers and thunderstorms across the islands during the next
several days, particularly from today through at least
Sunday.
Based on the latest guidance, the most likely time period for
the heaviest rainfall activity is from this afternoon into
Saturday. The areas most likely to receive the highest
rainfall accumulations are portions of the southeast and east
sections of Puerto Rico, as well as Vieques, Culebra and the
US Virgin Islands.
Rainfall accumulations are expected to range from 2 to 4
inches, especially for the eastern half of Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands with isolated higher amounts possible
between 6 and 8 inches. Elsewhere, 1 to 3 inches are
expected.
Due to already saturated soils, any prolonged period of heavy
rainfall will result in urban and small stream flooding. Some
rivers will likely overflow their banks. Therefore, Isolated
life threatening flash flooding and mudslides are possible as
well.
