.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

.Lightning...Isolated thunderstorms are possible mainly across
the surrounding waters of the islands tonight. Be aware of
thunderstorms in your area and be prepared to take shelter.

.Excessive Rainfall...Ponding of water in roads and poorly
drained areas possible across all the islands. Urban flooding is
possible.

.Wind...Breezy conditions. Unsecured items could blow around.

.Marine Conditions...Seas equal or greater than 7 feet across
the Atlantic waters and passages. Hazardous conditions for small
craft.

.Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the
surf zone particularly for the beaches along the west, north, and
east coasts of the islands.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

A wet and unstable weather pattern is expected to persist through
early next week. A series of troughs will promote thunderstorms
and excessive rainfall across the area, enhancing the potential
for flooding across the islands. Increasing winds and a northerly
swell spreading across the local waters will further deteriorate
seas and cause life-threatening rip currents through at least mid-
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.
