Stay alert and be prepared to take shelter if storms develop. .Excessive Rainfall...Flooding in urban areas, roads, small streams, and washes, particularly across northwestern Puerto Rico in the afternoon. 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 most individuals sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Those extremely sensitive to heat face the highest risk. Some health systems and heat-sensitive industries could be affected. These conditions are most likely across most lower elevations and urban areas of Puerto Rico, where a Heat Advisory is in effect between 10 AM and 5 PM AST. .Wind...Breezy conditions (18-22 kts | 21-25 mph), particularly across exposed coastal areas of northern and southern Puerto Rico, Vieques, and Culebra.. Unsecured items could blow around. .Marine Conditions...Small craft should exercise caution, particularly across most local waters. .Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the surf zone, particularly across northwestern Puerto Rico, Culebra, and selected beaches of eastern Vieques. Isolated stronger rip currents may occur elsewhere, especially near piers, jetties, and channels. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Excessive heat concerns are expected to persist throughout the forecast period. However, primary hazard risks will gradually shift toward excessive rainfall over the weekend and into early next week, as a vigorous tropical wave increases the potential for showers and thunderstorms, thereby raising the risk of flooding. Breezy to locally windy conditions may offer limited relief from the heat but will contribute to choppy seas and maintain a moderate rip current risk through most of the period. A Saharan Air Layer with minor to moderate concentrations of Saharan dust will bring hazy skies and drier air on Friday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed. $$ AMZ716-726-VIZ001-002-011000- St. Thomas St. John adjacent Islands-St Croix- Nearshore Atlantic and adjacent Caribbean Coastal Waters- 400 AM AST Thu Jul 31 2025 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of USVI. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight .Excessive Heat...This level of heat affects primarily those individuals extremely sensitive to heat, especially when outdoors without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration.
