Stay alert and be prepared to take shelter if storms develop. .Excessive Rainfall...Flooding in urban areas, roads, small streams, and washes, particularly across the western interior to western and southwestern Puerto Rico this afternoon. There is a low chance of isolated flash floods. Elsewhere, plan for water ponding on roads and in poorly drained areas. .Excessive Heat...This level of heat affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration, with those sensitive to heat at the highest risk. Impacts likely in some health systems, heat-sensitive industries and infrastructures. These conditions are most likely across all coastal and urban areas of Puerto Rico, Vieques, and Culebra. .Wind...Breezy conditions (18-22 kts | 21-25 mph), particularly across coastal areas of northern and southern Puerto Rico, as well as Vieques and Culebra. Unsecured items could blow around. .Marine Conditions...Hazardous conditions for small craft in areas with seas of 7 feet or higher, particularly across the Atlantic waters and local Caribbean Passages. Small craft should exercise caution elsewhere across the local waters. .Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone, particularly across north- and east-exposed beaches of Puerto Rico, from Rincon to Ceiba, as well as Vieques and Culebra. These life- threatening conditions are possible across most remaining beaches, with isolated stronger rip currents possible elsewhere, especially near piers, jetties and channels. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday he risk of excessive rainfall will gradually decrease with each passing day, while the threat of excessive heat will persist throughout the workweek. Northerly swells generated by former Hurricane Erin will continue to produce hazardous marine conditions and maintain a high risk of life-threatening rip currents, a situation further exacerbated by moderate to fresh winds through the middle of the week. Additionally, a plume of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) will continue moving in through Tuesday, bringing hazy skies, reduced visibility, and deteriorating air quality. The combination of these breezy winds and much drier conditions may also contribute to an elevated risk of fire weather early next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is encouraged. Please relay any information about flooding, winds, waves, and rip currents to the National Weather Service in San Juan. $$ AMZ716-726-VIZ001-002-251000- St. Thomas St. John adjacent Islands-St Croix- Nearshore Atlantic and adjacent Caribbean Coastal Waters- 451 AM AST Sun Aug 24 2025 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of USVI. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight .Excessive Heat...This level of heat affects most individuals sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration.
