  HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS

  Rip Currents: There is a high chance for powerful rip currents across the islands, especially “beaches of northwestern San Juan and vicinity to northeastern Puerto Rico, Culebra, and the northern U.S. Virgin Islands,” according to the National Weather Service.

  A High Rip Current risk is in effect until 6:00 a.m. Wednesday. Swimmers and surfers should take extra precautions (and if caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until you are outside of the pull of the current).

  Marine Conditions: A long-period northerly swell will bring seas of up to 10 feet to some locations, along with a high risk for rip currents. A “High Surf Advisory” and a “Small Craft Advisory” are in effect for portions of Puerto Rico and the northern USVI until 6:00 a.m. AST on Wednesday.

  IN THE TROPICS
  

  Tropical Activity: Tropical cyclones are not expected to impact the USVI within the next five days. 

  Tropical Details: The end of hurricane season is approaching on Wednesday, November 30, and no tropical systems threaten the USVI. There continues to be a lot of moisture in the southern Caribbean, including significant flooding in Trinidad and Tobago. However, this precipitation is not expected to affect us in the USVI, and the entire Caribbean region should begin to dry out soon.

  We will continue to remain in a “La Niña” weather pattern, and with this weather pattern, there is a slightly increased chance for cyclone development, even outside of hurricane season. If an after-season system develops and reaches tropical storm status, it will be designated as “Owen,” the 15th named tropical cyclone of the 2022 hurricane season.
