The National Weather Service in San Juan has issued an
* Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for the following municipalities...
in Puerto Rico Coamo... Adjuntas... Yauco... Villalba... Guayanilla... Juana Diaz... Ponce... Santa Isabel and Penuelas
* until 445 PM AST
* at 146 PM AST... NWS Doppler radar indicated showers and isolated thunderstorms with very heavy rain and gusty winds across these areas... especially from Juana Diaz and Villalba westward to Guayanilla and Yauco. Within the past hour... estimated rainfall amounts over some locations across the affected area ranged from 1 to 2 inches. At least through 445 PM AST... additional showers will develop and move through these areas producing one or more inches of precipitation.
Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.
