Mostly sunny skies prevailed across much of the region today. The 
exception was over parts of the interior and west sections of Puerto
Rico where clouds and a few showers developed and moved westward across
the surrounding municipalities. While there were isolated areas of locally
heavy rainfall, most of the shower activity was of light to moderate
intensity and of short duration. Afternoon high temperatures along
the coastal areas were in the low to mid 80s. Except for local sea
breeze variations, winds from the east 10 to 15 mph with occasionally
higher gusts. 

Skies will become mostly clear to partly cloudy overnight with no
significant rainfall expected to affect the islands. However, by 
early morning, passing trade wind showers may affect parts of the
east coastal sections of a few islands. Mostly sunny skies expected
on Wednesday, except for a some locally and diurnally induced afternoon
showers across parts of the interior and west sections of Puerto Rico.
Slightly warmer temperatures expected on Wednesday and Thursday as
winds are forecast to become more southeasterly in response to the
surface high pressure ridge lifting farther northeast of the region.


Small craft advisories will be in effect for the offshore Atlantic
waters until later this evening. Winds will be up to 20 knots. Small
craft operators should exercise caution elsewhere with easterly winds
of 10 to 15 knots with higher gusts and seas of 6 feet or less.

risk of rip currents on the north facing beaches of Puerto Rico and
Culebrita beach with moderate risk elsewhere except of the west coast
south of Rincon.
