Hydrologic Outlook issued May 1 at 9:33AM AST by NWS San Juan PR

ESFSJU Deep moisture and favorable upper level dynamics will bring periods of showers and thunderstorms across the local islands during the next several days, particularly on Friday and into the upcoming weekend. Based on the latest guidance, the most likely time period for the heaviest rainfall activity is Friday afternoon into Saturday. The areas most likely to receive the highest rainfall accumulations are portions of the south, southeast and east sections of Puerto Rico, as well as Vieques, Culebra and the US Virgin Islands. Therefore, there is an increasing risk for ponding of water, flooding of urban areas, roads and small streams. Life threatening flash flooding and mudslides are possible as well. Some rivers will likely overflow their banks. A Flash Flood Watch will likely be issued on Thursday. This product will be updated as needed.
