SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VIS IMAGERY ANIMATION SHOWS THAT CU
HAS BUILT OVER MUCH OF THE ISLAND..AS PATCHES OF TCU APPROACH RAPIDLY
FM THE SE. WITH LATEST GOES SOUNDER PASS INDICATING LI'S AROUND-4C OVER
THE ISLAND..AND WITH OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWING SFC CONVERGENCE..IT IS
LIKELY THAT SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DEVELOP OVER PUERTO RICO
THIS AFTN. GOES WV IMAGERY SHOWS MID LVL DRYNESS ACRS THE AREA..WHICH
SHOULD PRECLUDE ANYTHING WIDESPREAD. HOWEVER..MICROWAVE IMAGERY AND
GOES SOUNDER PASS INDICATES PWS'S AROUND 1.6-1.8"..WHICH WOULD SUPPORT
AT LEAST SOME LOCALIZED HVY RAIN WHERE TSTMS DEVELOP.
