The tail end of a tropical wave that passed over part of Puerto Rico on Tuesday moved over the entire island on Wednesday and is expected to have left three inches of precipitation throughout the island.
“It didn’t leave as much precipitation as Tuesday because it was passing across pretty fast,” National Weather Service meteorologist Ernesto Rodriguez said.
Isolated thunderstorms impacted some parts of the island.
For the next several days, conditions will be dry and windy until the beginning of next week, when a new tropical wave is forecast to cross the island.
That tropical wave is forecast to develop into a tropical storm and then perhaps a hurricane, but not until it is past the island, possibly leaving tropical depression conditions in its wake, Rodríguez said.
The government is still monitoring the precipitation levels at the island’s reservoirs and is unsure yet whether the rains have had the desired effect of appreciably lifting water levels, said Marieli Padró, spokesperson for Gov. Jenniffer González Colón.
“When things change, the governor will let people know,” she said.
Tropical Storm Cristobal forms in central Atlantic
Meanwhile on Wednesday, Tropical Storm Cristobal formed over the central subtropical Atlantic, the National Hurricane Center (NHS) reported, with maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour and no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
At 11 a.m. Puerto Rico time, the center of Cristobal was located near latitude 36.7 degrees north and longitude 43.0 degrees west, some 880 miles west of the Azores.
According to the NHS, Cristobal was moving rapidly eastward at about 25 miles per hour and was expected to shift toward the east-northeast while slowing its forward speed later in the day.
Tropical-storm-force winds extended up to 90 miles from the center.
Wednesday’s forecast indicated gradual weakening and anticipates that Cristobal would dissipate today. The system poses no threat to land, according to the NHS.
