Breezy conditions and shower activity expected to continue

SAN JUAN — The National Weather Service says we’ll continue to see patchy clouds and showers along with strong winds in the coming days.

So before you leave the house today be sure to:

Bring the umbrella (Showers during the morning in windward areas and in the afternoon across western Puerto Rico).

Secure objects that could blow around at home.

Marine and coastal hazards

Meanwhile, marine and coastal conditions remain hazardous for small crafts and swimmers.

  • Inexperienced mariners should avoid navigating in these hazardous conditions.
  • Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers, avoid visiting these beaches.

John F. McCarthy is a veteran journalist in the Caribbean, writing from the "Decision Space" where survival meets the surreal. His reporting steel was tempered by a lineage of legendary editors and broadcasters, including Ed Wynn Brant (The Bomb), Owen Eschenroder (Ann Arbor News), Lynelle Emanuel (BVI Beacon), and Charles Thanas (WSVI-TV). Alongside longtime colleague Kenneth C. "Casey" Clark, McCarthy has navigated the front lines of the territory’s history—from the 1997 volcanic "snow" to every major hurricane since Hugo. Known for leaning out of doorless helicopters to capture the "money shot," McCarthy now edits the V.I. Free Press, providing the essential link between the island's colonial past and its SpaceX future.
