There is an increasing risk for Flash Flooding Friday and early this weekend due to favorable atmospheric conditions resulting in periods of heavy rainfall as well as saturated soils and rivers above normal levels
-
WHAT: Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
-
WHERE: Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
-
WHEN: From Friday morning 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.
-
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
- A trough combined with deep moisture across the local area will bring periods of showers and thunderstorms across the local islands during the next several days, particularly Friday through at least Sunday.
Based on the latest guidance, the most likely time period for the heaviest rainfall activity is Friday 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.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

WHAT: Life-threatening rip currents due to breaking waves around 6 feet.
-
WHERE: Beaches along the northern coastline of Puerto Rico, from Aguadilla to Fajardo, and Culebra.
-
WHEN: Until this afternoon.
-
IMPACTS: Rip currents that can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water where it becomes difficult to return to safety.

There is a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
