This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Puerto Rico.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

.Lightning...Isolated thunderstorms, particularly across central
to northern and northeastern sections of Puerto Rico in the
afternoon, but lingering into the evening hours. Stay alert and be
prepared to take shelter if storms develop.

.Excessive Rainfall...Flooding in urban areas, roads, small
streams, and washes, particularly across areas experiencing
lightning impacts. 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 urban and coastal areas.

.Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the
surf zone, particularly across northern and eastern Puerto Rico
and Culebra. Isolated stronger rip currents may occur elsewhere,
especially near piers, jetties, and channels.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Daily afternoon thunderstorms will bring limited to elevated
flooding and lightning risks, focusing over northern Puerto Rico
tomorrow Saturday before shifting back toward northwestern
sections Sunday onwards. A frontal boundary and pre-frontal
trough will enhance moisture, instability, and weak steering flow,
allowing storms to persist longer and increase impacts through
the weekend. Heat hazards will remain limited to elevated through
the weekend, although gradually diminishing. A moderate rip
current risk continues along northern beaches, but incoming long-
period swells late in the weekend will create hazardous to life-
threatening surf and rip currents, while strengthening winds may
further deteriorate marine conditions and pose coastal wind
hazards.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is encouraged. Please relay any information
about flooding, winds, waves, and rip currents to the National
Weather Service in San Juan.
