About this listen

 Good morning. Puerto Rico. I'm Michael Nally. If you stepped outside this morning, you already felt it. Those scattered showers rolled through overnight and dropped a quick tenth of an inch across San Juan and the northern coast. The island woke up to 75 degrees with breezy easterly winds doing their thing. Here's your day. Metro San Juan climbs to 81 degrees with scattered showers continuing through the afternoon. East winds gust to 24 miles an hour, keeping things brisk. Those showers peak around 6 P.M. With a 40 percent chance. Tonight drops to 75 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Now head south. Ponce and the southern coast hit 88 degrees — seven degrees warmer than the metro. Isolated showers pop up mid-afternoon around 3 P.M., but most of the day stays sunny. Tonight cools to 72 degrees. Western Puerto Rico sees the wettest conditions. Mayagüez reaches 86 degrees with scattered showers firing up after noon. Rain chances jump to 50 percent by 3 P.M. Winds stay lighter here, around 7 miles an hour. Tonight clears out to 69 degrees. Monday brings more of the same — scattered showers, breezy easterlies, highs in the low 80s. But Tuesday? That's when things get interesting. An upper-level trough pushes in, ramping up instability. We're watching for thunderstorms to develop, especially across the interior and western sections. Rain chances climb to 60 percent. Wednesday through Friday expect afternoon showers with highs steady around 81 degrees. Weekend looks drier as high pressure builds back in. One critical note — a High Rip Current Risk continues through Monday morning for northern and eastern beaches. Stay out of the water if you're not a strong swimmer. See you this afternoon.
