...THERE IS AN INCREASING RISK FOR FLOODING ACROSS PUERTO RICO AND THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS... Deep moisture and favorable upper level dynamics will bring periods of showers and thunderstorms across the local islands during the next several days, particularly on Friday and into the upcoming weekend. 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 south, southeast and east sections of Puerto Rico, as well as Vieques, Culebra and the US Virgin Islands. Therefore, there is an increasing risk for ponding of water, flooding of urban areas, roads and small streams. Life threatening flash flooding and mudslides are possible as well. Some rivers will likely overflow their banks. A Flash Flood Watch will likely be issued on Thursday. This product will be updated as needed. ____________________________________________________________...HAY UN RIESGO EN AUMENTO DE INUNDACIONES A TRAVES DE TODO PUERTO RICO Y LAS ISLAS VIRGENES ESTADOUNIDENSES... Humedad profunda y dinamica favorable en los niveles altos traeran periodos de lluvias y tormentas electricas a traves de las islas locales durante los proximos dias, particularmente el viernes y hacia el proximo fin de semana. Segun las ultimas guias meteorologicas, el periodo de tiempo mas probable para la actividad de lluvias mas intensa es del viernes por la tarde al sabado. Las zonas con mayor probabilidad de recibir las acumulaciones de precipitacion mas altas son porciones de sectores del sur, sureste y este de Puerto Rico, asi como Vieques, Culebra y las Islas Virgenes Estadounidenses. Por lo tanto, existe un riesgo cada vez mayor de estancamiento de agua, inundaciones de zonas urbanas, carreteras y riachuelos. Tambien son posibles inundaciones repentinas amenazantes a la vida y deslizamientos de tierra. Algunos rios probablemente salgan fuera de su cause. Es probable que se emita una Vigilancia de Inundaciones Repentinas el jueves. Este producto se actualizara segun sea necesario.
