Stay alert and be prepared to take shelter if storms develop. .Excessive Rainfall...Flooding in urban areas, roads, small streams, and washes, particularly across western to northwestern Puerto Rico, as well as downwind of El Yunque, in the afternoon. 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 most individuals sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Those extremely sensitive to heat face the highest risk. Some health systems and heat-sensitive industries could be affected. These conditions are most likely across all coastal and urban areas of Puerto Rico. .Wind...Breezy conditions (18-22 kts | 21-25 mph), particularly across exposed coastal areas of north-central Puerto Rico. Unsecured items could blow around. .Marine Conditions...Small craft should exercise caution, particularly across the offshore Atlantic and the Mona Passage. .Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone through at least 6 PM AST, particularly across the coastline from Mayaguez and Anasco in western Puerto Rico northward and eastward across the northern coast to Fajardo and Ceiba in eastern Puerto Rico, and Culebra. These life- threatening conditions are possible across the remaining coastlines (including Vieques), with isolated stronger rip currents possible elsewhere, especially near piers, jetties and channels. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Excessive heat will remain the primary concern throughout the period (particularly on Thursday and Friday), while the risk of localized flooding and lightning strikes will persist each day and may increase with the influence of an approaching upper-level trough and moisture from a nearby tropical wave through the workweek. A moderate rip current risk is then expected to continue through Thursday night. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed. $$ AMZ716-726-VIZ001-002-280930- St. Thomas St. John adjacent Islands-St Croix- Nearshore Atlantic and adjacent Caribbean Coastal Waters- 529 AM AST Wed Aug 27 2025 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of USVI. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight .Excessive Heat...This level of heat affects primarily those individuals extremely sensitive to heat, especially when outdoors without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. .Marine Conditions...Small craft should exercise caution, particularly across the offshore Atlantic. .Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone, particularly across St. Thomas and St. John.
