DISCUSSION
HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN, BUT
HAVE MOSTLY CONFINED OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS WITH SOME ACTIVITY
IMPACTING EASTERN PORTIONS OF PUERTO RICO, VIEQUES, CULEBRA, AND
NORTHERN USVI. HOWEVER, HIGHER POTENTIAL OF OBSERVING HEAVY
SHOWERS IN THAT AREA IS EXPECTED BY NOON ONWARDS. ANY RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED TO BE BRIEF AND UNEVEN, WITH LIMITED IMPACT ON FUELS,
UNLESS A PERIOD OF HEAVY SHOWERS SETTLED OVER THE AREA. OTHERWISE,
FUELS MAY REMAIN VERY DRY DUE TO RECENT RAINFALL DEFICITS AND LOW
SOIL MOISTURE. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY LIGHT FROM THE EAST AT 5
TO 10 MPH, BUT NEARBY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE BRIEF
GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS UP TO AROUND 30 MPH, ALONG WITH
LIGHTNING. OVERALL, DRY FUELS, LIGHTNING POTENTIAL, AND LOCALIZED
GUSTY WINDS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO PERIODS OF INCREASED FIRE BEHAVIOR.
