* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents. * WHERE...Beaches along the west to northeast coasts of Puerto Rico and Culebra. * WHEN...Through Tuesday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety.

There is a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

Alerts from the National Weather Service. For situational awareness only; always confirm against an official briefing.

FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 170° at 7 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests tonight scattered rain showers, low near 80F, 30% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Scattered Rain Showers" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
