Thunder boomers and some rain Thursday were harbingers of what’s to come, meteorologist Jose Alamo at the National Weather Service in San Juan said Thursday. However, Thursday’s weather is the result of a trough in the area, not the tropical wave heading this way.
Alamo said he expects the tropical wave to bring rainy weather and wind gusts up to 30 mph starting Saturday morning through Sunday, admitting it was difficult to say precisely where the rain would fall and how much it would be.
“There’s still uncertainty about the track and strength,” he said.
Alamo also said seas will hit 4 to 6 feet starting Thursday night, reaching 7 to 8 feet by Saturday.
“For the weekend, the water will be rough,” Alamo said.
