Meteorologist Carlos Anselmi says heavy afternoon rain and a level 2 flood risk run Saturday into Sunday, with high-risk rip currents on all northern coasts.
Meteorologist Carlos Anselmi of the Servicio Nacional de Meteorología warned of heavy afternoon rain across interior, northeast, and San Juan metropolitan Puerto Rico on Saturday, with a level 2 flood risk active for possible urban, stream, and river flooding.[1][2]
Anselmi named the northeast and western Puerto Rico as the most flood vulnerable regions.[3] He said a coastal swell would reach the northern Atlantic coasts on Saturday, creating life-threatening rip currents.[4] A high risk alert for dangerous rip currents is active for all northern coastal areas of the island.[5] On Nov 8, Anselmi Molina said Puerto Rico would see unstable rainy conditions on Sunday.[6]
