... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through this evening...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* all of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands.
* Through this evening
* a mid to upper level low... just north of Puerto Rico this morning is producing a large area of cloudiness extending from Puerto Rico eastward across the northern Leeward Islands and across the Atlantic for several hundred miles. The abundant moisture and instability across the region in combination with the area of low pressure... may provide favorable conditions for significant convective development today across Puerto Rico... Vieques... Culebra... and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Heavy rainfall is possible during the afternoon hours across the central interior and western Puerto Rico with the addition of daytime heating and local terrain effects. Mudslides will be likely in areas of heavy rainfall and steep terrain. For those reasons... a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for all of Puerto Rico... Vieques... Culebra and for the U.S. Virgin Islands through this evening.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for heavy rain across the watch area... which may lead to flooding. If you are in the watch area... check your preparedness requirements... especially if you have interests along area rivers. Keep informed... and be ready for quick action if flooding is observed or if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.
People in the watch area should continue to be aware of the possibility for heavy rainfall. Avoid low lying areas... and be careful when approaching Highway dips and underpasses. The heavy rain could also cause mudslides in areas of steep terrain.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... local TV... radio or your cable television provider for later statements and possible warnings.
