RESPONSIBLE FOR PERIODS OF MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WHICH
AFFECTED MOST OF PUERTO RICO INCLUDING CULEBRA AND VIEQUES.THERE
WAS A REPORT OF A MUDSLIDE IN THE TRUJILLO ALTO AREA...THE RESULT
OF THE HEAVY RAIN IN STEEP TERRAIN. THE MOST ACTIVE CONVECTION
REMAINED OFFSHORE WITH HEAVY RAIN...FREQUENT LIGHTING AND GUSTY
WIND CONDITIONS. WINDS WERE GENERALLY FROM THE EAST BETWEEN 10 AND
20 MPH WITH OCCASIONALLY HIGHER GUSTS NEAR THE SHOWERS.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY INTO THE EVENING...SCATTERED TO LOCALLY
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL LEAD TO FLOODING OF
SMALL STREAMS AND URBAN AREAS. ALSO...MUDSLIDES ARE POSSIBLE IN
AREAS OF STEEP TERRAIN.

MARINERS ARE URGED TO EXERCISE CAUTION DUE TO THE MODERATE TO LOCALLY
FRESH TRADE WINDS AND SEAS UP TO 6 FEET ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS.
