.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

.Lightning...Isolated thunderstorms, particularly across
the island. Stay alert and be prepared to take shelter if storms
develop.

.Excessive Rainfall...Flooding in urban areas, roads, small
streams, and washes, particularly across the interior PR. There
is a low chance of isolated flash floods. Elsewhere, plan for
water ponding on roads and in poorly drained areas.

individuals extremely sensitive to heat, especially when outdoors
without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. These
conditions are most likely across western PR.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

The flood and lightning threat will remain through Saturday due
to the presence of moisture and an approaching trough. Marine and
coastal conditions will deteriorate during the weekend as a weak
northerly swell combines with windy conditions.

about flooding, winds, waves, and rip currents to the National
