ISLANDS BEGINNING FRIDAY...

AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF EXTENDED BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION...MAINLY

OUTSIDE OF WEST CENTRAL PUERTO RICO AND INCLUDING THE U.S. VIRGIN

ISLANDS...BETTER MOISTURE AND MORE FAVORABLE DYNAMICS WILL ARRIVE

BEGINNING FRIDAY. LIMITED MOISTURE...SITUATED BETWEEN A MID AND

UPPER LEVEL LOW AND AN ADVANCING AREA OF MOISTURE FROM THE

TROPICAL ATLANTIC WILL BRING SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS TODAY AND

THURSDAY...BUT MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN BRINGING MUCH MORE

MOISTURE TO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHEAST FRIDAY...AND THIS MOISTURE

WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY MONDAY.

AT PRESENT...THE LEAST THAT CAN BE EXPECTED IS A TURN IN THE

OVERALL CONDITIONS TO A MUCH MORE SHOWERY SCENARIO WITH SOME

THUNDERSTORMS...MORE RAINFALL COVERAGE AND HEAVIER RAINFALL WHERE

RAIN FALLS. THIS COULD BRING WATER TO NORMALLY DRY CREEKS AND GUTS

AND RAISE THE GENERAL LEVEL OF MOST RIVERS AND STREAMS IN THE

AREA.

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT SOME LOCAL AREAS...ESPECIALLY ALONG

THE CORDILLERA CENTRAL AND IN THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS...MAY

RECEIVE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL RESULTING IN SOME LOCAL FLOODING OF

STREAMS...GUTS...LOCAL RIVERS AND LOW-LYING AREAS WHERE LOCAL

WINDS BRING REPEATED ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS

THE SAME AREA FOR MULTIPLE HOURS. THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF THIS

HAPPENING IS FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO SUNDAY NIGHT.

RESIDENTS IN AREAS NORMALLY PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BEGIN TO TAKE

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES WHICH WOULD INCLUDE PREPARING PLANS TO

MOVE OR PROTECT PETS...LIVESTOCK...EQUIPMENT AND PERSONAL

BELONGINGS. RESIDENTS SHOULD ALSO REVIEW SAFETY PROCEDURES AND

EVACUATION ROUTES FOR THE MUCH DELAYED ONSET OF OUR NORMAL RAIN

AND FLOOD SEASON. THESE PLANS SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE IF AND WHEN

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ISSUES A FLASH FLOOD WATCH.

THOSE THAT LIVE BELOW AREAS THAT HAVE BURNED SHOULD BE AWARE THAT

RUNOFF WILL OCCUR MUCH SOONER AND WILL BE MUCH FASTER THAN NORMAL

OVER THE SCORCHED AND CLEARED GROUND.

WETTER CONDITIONS...THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY FLOODING...ARE FORESEEN

THROUGH ALMOST ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WORK WEEK.WMOHEADERUGCPRC001-003-0-5-007-009-011-013-015-017-019-021-023-025-027-029-031-033-035-037-0-9-041-043-045-047-049-051-053055-057-059-061-063-065-067-069-071-073-075-077-079-081-083-085-087-089-091-093-095-097-099-101--03-105-107-109-111-113-115-117-119-121-123-125-127-129-131--33-135-137-139-141-143-145-147-149-151-153-VIC010-020-030VTECTIME...MOT...LOCSaint Croix;Saint John; SaintThomasFIPS6078010FIPS6078020FIPS6078030UGCVIC010UGCVIC020UGCVIC030
