OF TJSP AS OF 1945Z IMAGERT.  IR AND VIS ANIMATIONS SHOW THE BAND MOVG
RAPIDLY TWD PUERTO RICO. OUT AHEAD OF THIS..VIS IMAGERY SHOWS CLUSTER
OF INCRG TSTMS S AND SW OF ST CROIX. THIS PARTICULAR CLUSTER IS OBSCURED
IN THE IR BY CIRRUS..SIGNIFYING THE RELATIVELY WARMER TOP NATURE OF THE
CLUSTER. NEVERTHELESS..IT STILL LOOKS RATHER IMPRESSIVE IN THE VIS. THIS
CONVECTIVE AREA IS MOVG N WHILE EXPANDING TO THE W.
.
BASE ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN IR AND VIS IMAGERY..AND
ANIMATIONS.. ANOTHER ROUND OF VERY HVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY TO MOVE ACRS
SRN PUERTO RICO. THIS IS CONTINGENT ON CONVECTIVE BAND MAINTAINING ITS
