Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Waters

AMZ700-221415-
912 PM AST Tue May 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
The interaction of an induced surface trough to the west and a weakening
surface high pressure to the east will promote moderate east-southeast
winds through Wednesday. As the surface trough moves closer to the region
expect increasing shower and thunderstorm activity across the local waters
from Wednesday onwards. In addition, the proximity an amplifying mid
to upper level trough just west of the region will enhance thunderstorm
development as well as increase winds and the potential for squally conditions
across the Mona Passage and Atlantic waters by late Wednesday night and
through at least Friday. Winds are forecast to diminish once again by
the weekend.
