AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JUAN PR

NORTHEAST OF THE LOCAL AREA ON WEDNESDAY THEN MOVES SOUTH. A
TROPICAL WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY. SAHARAN DUST
WILL BEGIN TO DISSIPATE TODAY...AVAILABLE MOISTURE WILL INCREASE
ON TUESDAY.

.DISCUSSION...ONCE AGAIN NO WEATHER WAS OBSERVED OVERNIGHT...AND
LITTLE TO NO WEATHER IS EXPECTED TODAY AS MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH
SAHARAN DUST HAZE CONTINUE TODAY. THE SAHARAN DUST
CONCENTRATION AND THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN
TONIGHT AS DOMINANT FLOW BECOMES MORE NORTHEASTERLY FOR TUESDAY.
THIS CHANGE FOR TUESDAY SHOULD ALLOW FOR MORE MOISTURE MOVING IN
AND RELATIVELY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON
TUESDAY AND MAYBE WEDNESDAY WHERE MORE INSTABILITY SEEMS TO BE POSSIBLE.
TROPICAL WAVE IS EXPECTED FOR THURSDAY...HOWEVER LATEST GUIDANCE
SHOWS THE WAVE TO BE RATHER WEAK WITH LITTLE INCREASE IN
MOISTURE AND A RIDGE IN THE UPPER LEVELS...HOWEVER THETA-E IS DECENT ON
THURSDAY JUST BEHIND THE AXIS OF THE TROPICAL WAVE. THEREFORE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE QUITE POSSIBLE ON THURSDAY.
