We're still under the Rain Gun Here in PR:
DISCUSSION...
DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS....EXPECT ENHANCED CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE LOCAL CARIBBEAN WATERS...AND
SLOWLY MOVE INLAND ACROSS PUERTO RICO...ADJACENT ISLANDS...AS WELL
AS PARTS OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. RIVERS AND STREAMS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE NORTH AND EASTERN HALF OF PUERTO RICO REMAIN AT DANGEROUSLY
HIGH LEVELS AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL ONLY AGGRAVATE THE
ONGOING SITUATION AND LEAD TO RIVER AND FLASH FLOODING. THEREFORE
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8:00 PM AST...FOR THE
EASTERN HALF OF PUERTO RICO...VIEQUES AND CULEBRA...WHERE SO FAR
THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL HAD FALLEN. HOWEVER THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS...PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO
AFFECT THE REMAINDER OF PUERTO RICO AS WELL AS THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...
AND THIS WILL LEAD TO FLOODING OF URBAN...SMALL STREAM AND POORLY
DRAINED AREAS. MUDSLIDES IN AREAS OF STEEP TERRAIN WILL ALSO REMAIN
LIKELY ACROSS THE ISLANDS EVEN WHEN THE RAINS HAVE CEASED. RESIDENTS
AND VISITORS ARE URGED TO STAY AWAY FROM RIVERS AND STREAM AND CLOSELY
MONITOR STATEMENTS AND BULLETINS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
IN SAN JUAN.
