...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...



* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be 

  possible.



* WHERE...Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands



* WHEN...Through Sunday afternoon.



* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, 

  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. 

  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur 

  in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be 

  flooded. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and 

  rivers are possible.

  Due to soil saturation, even a brief heavy rainfall or persistent 

  light rain has the potential to produce landslides and mudslides 

  on steep terrains.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood 

Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared 

to take action should flooding develop.
