He National Hurricane Center began observing this Sunday the first hurricane season system in the tropical Atlantic that so far has a 10-20% probability of development.
So he detailed it to The new day meteorologist Ian Colón the National Weather Service (SNM), who specified that it is a tropical wave that could bring rains to the island by the end of this week. However, the long-term picture remains uncertain.
“For this week we will see a pattern similar to today of high heat and little rain activity, but by the end of the week we will see a potential for more activity with the arrival of a tropical wave. Until now the probability of formation is low and although some development is possible, when it comes to us the conditions should not be very favorable for its development.“he specified.
According to the SNM, the probability of formation of this system during the next 48 hours is 10% and 20% within the next five days.
Colón indicated that for today the rain activity will be limited, although in the afternoon downpours could develop in sectors of the southwest. However, significant rains are not expected for the rest of the island, including the Carraízo reservoir basin, which woke up today with 37.37 meters of water, which translates to nine centimeters less than yesterday. In this way, the reservoir was placed 17 centimeters from reaching the control phase, which would be a rationing plan for the clients of the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (AAA).
“So far there is no significant rain activity in the Carraízo basin. We would have to wait for what these tropical systems bring with them”he recognized.
Meanwhile, he announced that the day will be hot with temperatures between low 80 degrees and high 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the urban and coastal areas of the island. Given that, he specified that the heat index could reach the low 100 degrees.
“We also continue to have presence of Sahara dust in the area, but it is decreasing. Visibility is increasing, but foggy conditions can still be seen from a distance,” he said.
Regarding maritime conditions, the expert asked small boat operators to exercise caution, since the waves offshore in most waters of the Atlantic and the Caribbean are up to 6 feet. Likewise, he indicated that most of the island’s beaches have a moderate risk of marine currents.
