‘Lingering moisture’ set to trickle from tropical wave, NWS says

SAN JUAN — Lingering moisture from a tropical wave will continue to bring scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across the local islands.

The best rainfall should be seen across western PR during the afternoon hours. Saharan Dust will start to enter the region by this evening, starting a trend of hazy skies.

No tropical cyclone formation is expected over the next seven days.

Humedad remanente de una onda tropical continuará trayendo aguaceros dispersos y tronadas aisladas a través de las islas locales.

La mayor cantidad de lluvia debería observarse al oeste de PR durante horas de la tarde. Polvo del Sahara entrará a la región para esta noche, comenzando un patrón de cielos brumosos.

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.
