This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Puerto Rico.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

.Lightning...Isolated thunderstorms, particularly across

southeastern, central, and western to northwestern Puerto Rico, as

well as portions of the San Juan metropolitan area. Stay alert

and be prepared to take shelter if storms develop.

.Excessive Rainfall...Flooding in urban areas, roads, small

streams, and washes, particularly across eastern Puerto Rico,

interior to northwestern Puerto Rico and downwind of El Yunque

and the local islands. 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 primarily those

individuals extremely sensitive to heat, especially when outdoors

without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. These

conditions are most likely across western Puerto Rico.

.Wind...Breezy conditions (18-22 kts | 21-25 mph), particularly

across coastal areas of southern and northern Puerto Rico, Vieques

and Culebra. Unsecured items could blow around.

.Marine Conditions...Small craft should exercise caution across

most of the local waters.

.Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the

surf zone of most local beaches. Isolated stronger rip currents

may occur elsewhere, especially near piers, jetties, and channels.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Moderate to fresh winds will continue through the weekend,

bringing breezy conditions to land areas through Saturday, while

creating choppy seas for small craft through Friday and a moderate

rip current risk through Sunday. On Friday, increasing moisture

and favorable upper-level conditions will enhance shower and

thunderstorm development, raising the risk of flooding and

lightning. The most significant risk is likely on Friday and

Saturday, when peak moisture and instability are forecast. Despite

the rain, a limited excessive heat risk will persist, especially

in western Puerto Rico, particularly for those sensitive to heat

when outdoors without proper cooling or hydration.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
