Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Puerto Rico
National Weather Service San Juan PR
355 AM AST Sun Apr 6 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Similar conditions to yesterday should prevail today. Winds will
remain between 15 - 20 mph, with higher gusts around 26 - 28 mph.
The latest KDBI values remain well above fire weather thresholds
in Guanica (637), while Cabo Rojo and Maricao slightly increased
(370 - 379). Soils in the southern coastal plains of Puerto Rico
continue with precipitation deficit and dry soils, contributing to
rapid fire spread. As a dry air mass filters into the region
today and relative humidities drop near 40 %, elevated fire
danger conditions are expected along the southern coastal plains
of Puerto Rico. Therefore, a Fire Danger Statement (RFDSJU) will
be issued for portions of southern Puerto Rico.
