Warnings and Notices

	Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 11:45 PM AST on October 13, 2008 ... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Wednesday evening... The Flash Flood Watch continues for * all of Puerto Rico... including Culebra and Vieques... and all of the U.S. Virgin Islands. * Through Wednesday evening * abundant tropical moisture... associated with the outer fringes of Tropical Depression Fifteen... will continue to lift north and bring occasional bands of showers and thunderstorms with gusty winds to all of Puerto Rico... Culebra and Vieques... and all of the U.S. Virgin Islands overnight through early Tuesday... with these bands becoming stronger and more frequent later Tuesday and Tuesday night and then continuing through Wednesday evening. Given this scenario... heavy rains across the local islands during this prolonged period will result in significant rainfall accumulations over the next several days. Residents and visitors should therefore expect areas of moderate to heavy rainfall... with isolated rainfall totals ranging between 5 and 10 inches of rainfall through Tuesday... then increasing to 15 to 30 inches or more of accumulative rainfall through the end of the week. The depression is forecast to strengthen and eventually turn towards the north northeast and then northeast across Puerto Rico and the remainder or the local islands by mid week. Due to already saturated soils across much of the local area... only a small amount of additional rainfall would likely result in areas of Rapid River rises and flash and river flooding... along with mudslides and debris flow. 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. Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... local TV... radio or your cable television provider for later statements and possible warnings. This product... along with other weather... hydrological and climate information... is available on the web at http://www.Srh.NOAA.Gov/sju or at http://weather.Gov.
