CHRISTIANSTED — The first tropical wave of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season emerged off the coast of Africa today, the National Hurricane Center confirmed.

Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected across the islands, mainly in the afternoon across the interior, northern, and western sections of Puerto Rico, the National Weather Service said.
Today will we experience warmer than normal temperatures, especially in urban and coastal areas, according to the NWS.
There is a hazy skies alert due to the passing of a Saharan dust cloud, which means we will have reduced visibility and people with allergies and eye irritation will be most affected, the NWS said.
