Weather Summary for the U.S. Virgin Islands
National Weather Service San Juan PR
511 PM AST Sat Feb 5 2022

The interaction between an upper-level trough and frontal 
boundary maintained a moist and unsettled weather pattern across 
the U.S. Virgin Islands. Radar Doppler detected scattered showers 
and isolated thunderstorms affecting the area, with rainfall 
accumulations ranging from a quarter to half an inch. Winds were 
generally from the east-northeast at 10 to 20 mph with higher 
gusts. Cloudy skies and extended periods of light to moderate 
rains kept daytime high temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 
80s. So far, King Airport in St Thomas and Rohlsen Airport in St 
Croix reported a high of 77 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit, 
respectively.

With the upper trough slowly meandering southward and the 
remnants of the front lingering over the region, the shower and 
thunderstorm activity will continue through the overnight and 
early morning hours. Additional rainfall amounts of a quarter of 
an inch to an inch are likely. A gradual improvement is
anticipated for Sunday into Morning, but showers will continue to
affect the islands at times. Winds will remain from the east- 
northeast at 10 to 20 mph with higher gusts. Variations in the 
local wind flow are possible near the shower activity. Overnight 
low temperatures will drop into the lower-to- mid 70s, while 
daytime high temperatures will reach the lower-to- mid 80s.

The combination of wind-driven seas and a northerly swell 
spreading across the local waters will maintain hazardous seas up
to 10 feet tonight into Sunday. As a result, Small Craft 
Advisories remain in effect for all the local islands' waters. Due
to large breaking waves up to 15 feet, High Surf Advisories and 
High Rip Current Risk are also in effect for most local beaches.
