The National Weather Service in San Juan warned of flood risks, landslides and strong winds from afternoon thunderstorms across Puerto Rico on November 10, 2026.[^1]

The warning follows a wet stretch. Between November 4 and 9, the service said 3 to 6 inches of rain fell across interior and eastern Puerto Rico.[^2] On November 8, NotiCentro meteorologist Carlos Omar Rivera said the service issued flash flood warnings for seven municipalities.[^3] The service had already flagged unstable conditions for Monday, with scattered afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms,[^4] and heavy showers and thunderstorms over the interior.[^5]

The elevated flood risk will stay in effect across multiple municipalities until Tuesday, the service said.[^6] On the coast, the service also warned of hazardous marine conditions along the northern shore as a northeast surge approached.[^7]

Monday's storms left their mark on the ground: thunderstorms flooded Avenida Shuford in Caguas and set off landslides on PR-156 in Aguas Buenas,[^8] the Río Cañas gauge in Caguas reached 18.15 feet, into minor flood stage,[^9] and the Río Grande de Loíza at Caguas was running 666 percent above its prior-day flow.[^10] By early November 10, the only active weather alert left for the island was a rip current statement.[^11]
