locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
Based on the latest guidance, the most likely time period for
the heaviest rainfall activity is Friday afternoon into

rainfall accumulations are portions of the southeast and east

Rainfall accumulations are expected to range from 2 to 4
inches, especially for the eastern half of Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands with isolated higher amounts possible
between 6 and 8 inches. Elsewhere, 1 to 3 inches are
expected.
Due to already saturated soils, any prolonged period of heavy
rainfall will result in urban and small stream flooding. Some
rivers will likely overflow their banks. Therefore, Isolated
life threatening flash flooding and mudslides are possible as
well.
